IAA Proposal Imperial College London

帝国理工学院的方法是基于对其他研究委员会的影响加速计划的成功管理。通过调整我们目前代表其他资助者支持的活动类型，并调整我们的学术流程以获得资助，我们将提高NERC资助社区对这一机会的认识。因此，我们将继续支持离散的领导者和小组为基础的项目，这些项目建立在NERC以前赠款资助的研究基础上。我们会与第一阶段一样，接受申请。这将是我们对资金的优先使用。此外，与学院的企业合作伙伴关系司，我们将创建一个定制的NERC为基础的事件，以鼓励和激励NERC资助的研究人员更广泛的受众。我们将向行业和政策受众展示NERC资助的帝国理工学院研究的当前和未来影响，并支持其他人探索与行业的接触。NERC的代表将被邀请参加此次活动。将为那些专注于向学术界以外的最终用户提供或推广NERC资助的研究成果的项目提供资金。符合条件的活动包括但不限于：1.早期商业化/市场评估/概念验证;2.讲习班、研讨会或专题讨论会; 3.制作商业用途的订婚材料; 4.制作材料，以提高对研究成果的认识，并向下一阶段的投资者传播;5.与行业和其他最终用户社区的互动活动，包括新的受众; 6.借调、人员交换或安置;此方法将用于实现目标1）、2）和3）。

Imperial's approach is based on successful management of impact acceleration schemes from other Research Councils. By aligning the types of activities we currently support on behalf of other funders, and aligning our processes for academics to receive funding we will increase the awareness of this opportunity amongst the NERC funded community in the long term. We will therefore continue to support discrete investigator-led and group based projects which build on research funded by previous grants from NERC. We will hold a similar call for applications as in Phase I. This will be our prioritised use of the funding. In addition, working with the College's Corporate Partnerships Division we will create a bespoke NERC based event to encourage and inspire a broader audience of NERC funded researchers. We will showcase the current and future impact of NERC's funded research at Imperial to an industrial and policy- based audience, and support others in their exploration of engaging with industry. NERC representatives will be invited to this event.Funding will be provided for projects that focus on delivering or promoting the benefits of NERC-funded research to end users outside of academia. Eligible activities would include, but not be limited to: 1. Early stage commercialisation/market assessments/proof of concept;2. Workshops, seminars, or symposia; 3. Production of engagement materials for commercial use; 4. Production of materials to increase awareness of research outputs and dissemination to next stage investors;5. Engagement events with industry and other end user communities, including new audiences; 6. Secondments, people exchange, or placements;This approach will be used to meet objectives 1), 2) and 3).
