Space Research Centre PIPSS Fellowship

莱斯特大学在太空研究方面有着悠久的历史，在过去的40年里，它一直在太空中配备一台或多台仪器，这是一项杰出的记录。该大学的空间研究中心(SRC)成立于1998年，是英国主要的研究机构之一，专注于与空间有关的技术。该中心与世界上许多空间研究机构合作，在国际上享有令人羡慕的声誉。除了在开发与空间有关的技术方面已得到证实的能力和成功之外，小岛屿发展中国家研究中心在将这种知识转化为工业和非空间商业应用方面有着既定的记录。据认为，英国航天部门每年的价值接近50亿GB，雇佣了大约1.6万名熟练(超过60%的学历合格)人员。该行业在很大程度上由电信等所谓的“下游”相关业务构成。空间研究中心(空间研究中心)的核心活动、资源和培训产出与“上游”业务更紧密地结合在一起，涵盖航天器子系统，估计价值约7.25亿GB。因此，成功地从SRC转让技术和知识可能会对英国工业界和学术界产生重大的经济影响，但也会吸引更多的资源到SRC，从而能够进一步扩大能力。任命一名专注于SRC内技术潜力的PIPSS研究员将极大地提高SRC的技术商业化和知识转移产出的速度和成功率。主要目标：增加对工业界和其他机构的技术转让，促进空间研究中心和科学、技术和创新中心的技术转让，目的是提高科学和技术研究中心技术商业化和知识转让产出的速度和成功率。

The University of Leicester has a long history in space research and has the distinguished record of always having one, or more, of its instruments in space over the last 40 years. The University's Space Research Centre (SRC) was opened in 1998 and is one of the UK's leading research institutes focussed on space-related technologies. The centre has an enviable international reputation collaborating with many of the world's space research agencies. In addition to its proven ability and success in developing space-related technologies the SRC has an established track record in transferring this knowledge into industry and into non-space commercial applications. The UK space sector is thought to be worth close to £5bn annually , employing some 16,000 skilled (over 60% degree qualified) people. The sector is comprised in large part by the, so called, 'downstream' related businesses such as telecommunications. The Space Research Centre (SRC) core activities, resources and trained output are more closely allied with the 'upstream' businesses, covering spacecraft sub-systems, which are estimated to be worth some £725m. Successful transfer of technologies and knowledge from the SRC could therefore have significant economic impact both to UK industry and academia but would also attract increased resources to the SRC enabling further expansion of capacity. Appointment of a PIPSS Fellow focussed on the technology potential within the SRC would dramatically increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs. Main aims: o Increase the amount of technology transfer to industry and other institutes o Market and promote the Space Research Centre and the STFC technology transfer aims o Increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs.
