IAA Proposal

NERC加速影响试点资金的第二阶段将支持一些具体举措，旨在加强NERC资助的研究的影响，这些研究在试点第一阶段期间对NERC资助的研究进行审计时被确定为具有商业意义。这些活动将由在第一阶段试点期间受雇的工作人员与参与EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account的类似活动的商务关系团队其他成员以及大学内的其他相关人员一起组织和实施。我们的所有倡议都将包括一个重要的行业组成部分，其核心目标是加强由NERC资助的研究的影响。活动将包括：组织关于特定研究主题的促进研讨会，管理合作种子资金，以启动与行业的项目，以及开发营销材料，以提高NERC和爱丁堡大学的对外形象和知名度。

Phase II of the Pilot NERC Impact Acceleration funding will support a number of specific initiatives, aimed at enhancing the impact of NERC-funded research that was identified as being of commercial relevance during an audit of NERC-funded research carried out during Phase I of the pilot. These initiatives will be organised and delivered by the member of staff employed during the Phase I pilot, in conjunction with the rest of the Commercial Relations Team, who are engaged in similar activities as part of the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account, and other relevant personnel within the University. All our initiatives will include a significant industry component with the central aim of enhancing the impact of NERC-funded research. Activities will include: the organisation of facilitated workshops on specific research themes, the administration of collaborative seed funding to kick-start projects with industry, and the development of marketing materials to raise the NERC and University of Edinburgh's external profile and visibility.
