Space Research Centre IPSS Fellowship Extension

自2009年4月以来，STFC一直支持莱斯特大学空间研究中心的IPS研究员。该研究员一直负责在系内和大学内发起一项重大的文化变革，以接受知识交流。该奖学金计划已经启动了超过25个成功的KT项目，获得了超过450万英镑的赠款和合同。这些电讯项目包括早期商业项目、衍生公司，以及更大规模的策略性计划，以进一步推动科技基金的使命，发展基础设施，并扩大我们太空研究中心电讯活动的影响和范围。该研究金进一步加强了在将空间研究中心和专门知识转移到工业和非空间商业应用方面已经建立的记录。英国航天部门被视为英国突出的增长部门之一。该行业在很大程度上由电信等所谓的“下游”相关业务组成。空间研究中心的核心活动、资源和训练产出与“上游”业务更紧密地联系在一起，包括航天器子系统，估计价值约为7.25亿英镑。因此，除了为SRC吸引更多的资源，进一步扩大产能外，SRC继续成功地转移技术和知识，将对英国工业界和学术界产生重大的经济影响。IPS奖学金的继续关注SRC内部的技术潜力，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：增加向工业和其他机构转让技术的数量，促进空间研究中心和科学技术基金的技术转让。提高科学技术基金的技术商业化和知识转移产出的速度和成功率。

STFC has supported an IPS Fellow at the Space Research Centre, University of Leicester since April 2009. The Fellow has been responsible for initiating a major cultural change towards the acceptance of Knowledge Exchange (KT) within the Department and in the University in general. The Fellowship programme has initiated over 25 successful KT projects securing grants and contract totalling in excess of £4.5M. These KT projects include early stage commercial ventures, spin out companies, and larger-scale, strategic initiatives to further the STFC's mission and to develop the infrastructure and extend the influence and range of our Space Research Centre KT activities. The Fellowship has further enhanced an already established track record in transferring Space Research Centre and expertise knowledge into industry and into non-space commercial applications.The UK space sector is seen as one of the outstanding growth sectors in the UK. The sector is comprised in large part by the, so called, 'downstream' related businesses such as telecommunications. The Space Research Centre 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. Continuing the successful transfer of technologies and knowledge from the SRC will therefore have significant economic impact both to UK industry and academia in addition to attracting increased resources to the SRC enabling further expansion of capacity. Continuation of the IPS Fellowship 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 instituteso Market and promote the Space Research Centre and the STFC technology transfer aimso Increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs.
