Accelerating Impact at MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology)

MOLA Impact Accelerator Account(IAA)旨在通过促进四个主要方面的工作，从MOLA世界领先的考古研究和实践中获得更大的价值：(1)伙伴关系，提供资源，与新的合作伙伴建立有意义的关系，接触服务不足的受众，并促进可持续发展目标和新颖的交流形式。(2)项目设计和交付方面的创新，提供安全、快速的失败环境，使内部和外部利益相关者和客户可以在其中共同设计项目和扩大影响的学习。与商业客户(在住房、公路、铁路、风电场)合作设计是改变的关键，因为他们对社会的影响是巨大的，但他们往往报告说，他们在考古工作上的支出几乎没有什么公共价值。(3)商业化，为外部研究人员、中小型企业(SMEs)和MOLA工作人员提供种子资金，共同开发教育产品和其他来自考古研究的证据产品。(4)宣传，为来自其他组织(商业、慈善、政府)、大学生和MOLA工作人员的专家提供支持，以试验制定历史环境政策和地方治理的方法。这些工作流程将通过资助6种不同类型的影响活动来实现：(1)网络赠款：每个赠款最高可达10K GB，用于与新的和不寻常的合作伙伴建立工作关系，以接触目标受众，并解决与联合国可持续发展目标相关的目标和与受众沟通方面的纪律挑战。(2)伙伴关系赠款：与至少一个其他考古单位、开发商或慈善机构合作，每人提供10k-20k GB的赠款，以支持项目设计和交付方面的创新。(3)创意实习：资助一名创意实践者每年进行两次为期6个月的实习(总共6个月)，试验如何将考古研究转化为特殊形式，分发给目标受众。在目前尚未开发的创意领域工作的设计师，如室内设计、时尚、食品、喜剧、音乐、舞蹈、信息图表，以及以英语以外的语言工作的创意作家，将被优先考虑。(4)借调：根据申请者的范围，提供专门的时间(5至60天)，以获得其他组织或部门的运作的新经验，并从考古和遗产研究中得出有影响力的成果。申请人可以是寻求借调到商业、慈善或政府部门的MOLA工作人员，以补充MOLA影响加速目标；他们也可以是寻求借调到MOLA的学术、发展、慈善或政府工作人员。(5)业务发展赠款：为创意从业者、中小企业和MOLA工作人员提供GB 5k-15k的种子资金，以合作开发教育产品和考古和遗产研究发布的其他有证据的、创收的业务计划。(6)政策制定助学金：约为GB 5k，支持部门利益攸关方和学生利用影响政策制定者的工具进行创新。

The MOLA Impact Accelerator Account (IAA) aims to derive greater value from MOLA's world-leading archaeological research and practice through facilitating four key steams of work: (1) Partnerships, providing resource to establish meaningful relationships with new partners to reach underserved audiences, and to further sustainable development goals and novel forms of communication. (2) Innovations in project design and delivery, providing safe, fail-fast environments within which internal and external stakeholders and clients can codesign projects and scale-up learnings that develop impact. Co-design with commercial clients (in housing, highways, railways, windfarms) is key to change, as their reach into society is tremendous but they often report little perceived public value from their expenditures on archaeological work. (3) Commercialisation, providing seed funding for external researchers, small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and MOLA staff to co-develop educational products and other evidence-informed goods issuing from archaeological research. (4) Advocacy, providing support for specialists from other organisations (commercial, charitable, government), university students, and MOLA staff to experiment with approaches to policy shaping and local governance of the historic environment. These streams of work will be enabled via the funding of 6 different types of impact activity:(1) Networking Grants: Grants of up to £10k each to establish working relationships with new and unusual partners to reach target audiences, and address objectives associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and disciplinary challenges around communicating with audiences. (2) Partnership Grants: Grants of £10k-20k each to support innovation in project design and delivery in partnership with at least one other archaeology unit, developer or charitable body. (3) Creative Residencies: Funding for two 6-month residencies per year (six in total) for a creative practitioner to experiment on translating archaeological research into unusual forms for distribution across target audiences. Priority will be given to designers working in currently untapped creative sectors such as interior design, fashion, food, comedy, music, dance, infographics, and creative writers working in languages other than English.(4) Secondments: Dedicated periods of time (5 to 60 days), scoped by applicants, to gain novel experiences of the operations of other organisations or departments and to devise impactful outcomes from archaeological and heritage research. Applicants may be MOLA staff seeking secondment to commercial, charitable, or government offices which complement MOLA Impact Acceleration objectives; or they may be academic, developer, charitable or government staff seeking secondment to MOLA. (5) Business Development Grants: Seed funding of £5k-15k for creative practitioners, SMEs and MOLA staff to collaborate in development of educational products and other evidence-informed, revenue-generating business plans issuing from archaeological and heritage research. (6) Policy Shaping Grants: Grants of approx. £5k each to support sector stakeholders and students in innovating with tools to influence policy makers.
