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.

莱斯特大学在空间研究方面有着悠久的历史，在过去的40年里，莱斯特大学一直在空间使用一种或多种仪器。该大学的空间研究中心（SRC）成立于1998年，是英国领先的研究机构之一，专注于空间相关技术。该中心与世界上许多空间研究机构合作，享有令人羡慕的国际声誉。除了在开发与空间有关的技术方面已证明的能力和成功外，空间研究中心在将这种知识转移到工业和非空间商业应用方面也有着良好的记录。英国航天部门被认为每年价值近50亿英镑，雇用约16，000名熟练人员（超过60%的学位合格人员）。该部门在很大程度上由所谓的“下游”相关企业组成，如电信。空间研究中心（SRC）的核心活动，资源和培训产出与“上游”业务更加紧密地联系在一起，涵盖航天器子系统，估计价值约7.25亿英镑。因此，从SRC成功转让技术和知识可能对英国工业和学术界产生重大的经济影响，但也将为SRC吸引更多的资源，从而进一步扩大产能。任命一名专注于SRC内部技术潜力的PIPSS研究员将大大提高SRC技术商业化和知识转移产出的速度和成功率。主要目标：o增加向工业界和其他机构转让技术的数量o推销和促进空间研究中心和科技和金融中心的技术转让目标o提高空间研究中心技术商业化和知识转让产出的速度和成功率。
