The Innovation Launchpad network will bring together cross disciplinary teams from across academia, facilitating engagement with all nine Catapults across the three thematic areas targeted (Net Zero, Healthcare & Wellbeing and Resilience). The network has a broad geographical representation, with three of the four home nations represented through the network of Principal and Co-Investigators and all three thematic areas covered by their inclusion. We will be supported by a wider Steering Panel, who will bring further expertise across all three themes and experience of working across all nine of the Catapult Centres.The network will provide a pipeline of new knowledge aligned to future industry needs that address global challenges, bringing together cross functional teams from across academia and facilitating their engagement with the Catapults. It will identify engagement opportunities to allow academics to collaborate with their colleagues in the Catapult Centres, growing the maturity of new technologies, tools & techniques, and diffuse the new understanding created across the Catapult network.A key part of this vision will be to enable collaboration between individuals and groups who are yet to engage with the Catapults. The network has representation from across the UK. Each of the network members will be charged with targeting and developing strong relationships with the knowledge exchange (KE) teams in their areas effectively creating a network of networks with connections across their region. By including the KE teams in the universities in each area we hope to spot opportunities and signpost academics with potential discoveries to the opportunities provided by the network and ultimately to the catapults.A range of studies have noted that significant gaps exist between the diversity of the award winners in academia. The Network recognises that the provision of equal opportunity, valuing diversity and promoting a culture of inclusion is vital to our success and that this means that we must find new ways of identifying, promoting and fulfilling future research needs beyond the traditional approach of awarding fellowships to established academics, which just reinforces the status quo. Our EDI strategy is designed to proactively create this opportunity for the Network to make a significant positive impact in influencing this, through the training of the participants in the network, and through fostering new collaborations between academia and the catapults.

Innovation Launchpad网络将汇集来自学术界的跨学科团队，促进与所有九个Catapults在三个目标主题领域（净零，医疗保健和健康以及弹性）的参与。该网络具有广泛的地域代表性，四个母国中的三个通过首席调查员和共同调查员网络派代表参加，其所涵盖的所有三个专题领域都包括在内。我们将得到一个更广泛的指导小组的支持，他们将带来所有三个主题的进一步专业知识和在所有九个弹射器中心的工作经验。该网络将提供一个与未来行业需求相一致的新知识管道，以应对全球挑战，汇集来自学术界的跨职能团队，并促进他们与弹射器的接触。它将确定参与的机会，让学者与他们的同事在弹射器中心合作，增长的新技术，工具和技术的成熟度，并扩散在整个弹射器网络创建的新的理解。这一愿景的一个关键部分将是使个人和团体之间的合作谁是尚未从事与弹射器。该网络在英国各地都有代表。每个网络成员将负责确定目标并与其所在地区的知识交流团队建立牢固的关系，有效地建立一个与其所在地区建立联系的网络网络。通过将KE团队包括在每个领域的大学中，我们希望发现机会，并为具有潜在发现的学者提供网络所提供的机会，并最终提供catalysts。一系列研究已经注意到，学术界获奖者的多样性之间存在显着差距。该网络认识到，提供平等机会，重视多样性和促进包容文化对我们的成功至关重要，这意味着我们必须找到新的方式来确定，促进和满足未来的研究需求，超越传统的授予奖学金的方法，以建立学者，这只是加强了现状。我们的EDI战略旨在通过培训网络参与者以及促进学术界和弹射器之间的新合作，主动为网络创造机会，在影响这一点方面产生重大积极影响。
