EPSRC High Value Manufacturing Catapult Fellowship Centre

这项建议旨在建立一个开创性的EPSRC高价值制造弹射奖学金中心，旨在为英国先进制造业研究社区提供服务，选择、创建、管理和发展一个由大约16个灵活期限的学术奖学金组成的网络，分布在七个HVM弹射中心(HVMC)。这些奖学金将为所有英国学者打开新的大门，让他们参与Catapult中心的工作，并帮助将新的科学思想植入丰富的制造业基地。EPSRC HVMC奖学金将不同于标准的EPSRC奖学金计划，通过高价值制造弹射中心在学术界和行业之间提供一个独特的知识交流网络。先进制造研究中心在领导和协调该中心的活动方面具有得天独厚的优势，拥有两个久负盛名的学术HVM弹射中心，AMRC与波音和核AMRC在吸引具有强大工业伙伴关系基础的学者方面提供了开创性的模式和经验。该中心将得到所有七个HVM弹射中心的支持，HVMC首席技术官将组成该中心的指导委员会，并成为EPSRC HVMC FC论坛的一部分。奖学金将使学术人员能够在一个或多个HVM弹射中心进行为期6个月的研究访问，这些中心可以灵活地分布在1-4年之间。EPSRC HVMC FC的建立将与EPSRC战略的以下方面紧密结合：-2011-2015年制造未来挑战主题的主要横向目标是通过与其他主要机构在研究资金和政策方面的联合战略和投资，在英国创新格局中工作，以及-EPSRC 2011-2015年的关键战略目标是产生影响。HVM弹射器是加速大学主导的创新的实施，并迅速将当前的工业需求与新的科学知识联系起来的理想位置。此外，英国学者与工业主导的研究中心的更紧密接触将把他们的新研究概念塑造成整个高价值制造业的适用技术。

This proposal aims to establish a pioneering EPSRC High Value Manufacturing Catapult Fellowship Centre, with the purpose of serving the UK's advanced manufacturing research community in selection, creation, management and growing a network of about 16 flexible term academic Fellowships spread across the seven HVM Catapult Centres (HVMC). These Fellowships will open new gates for all UK based academics to engage with the Catapult centres, and help implant new scientific ideas into the rich manufacturing base. EPSRC HVMC Fellowships would differ from the standard EPSRC fellowship schemes by offering a unique knowledge exchange network between the academia and the industry, through High Value Manufacturing Catapult centres. The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre is uniquely positioned to lead and coordinate the centre's activities, with two well-established academic HVM Catapult Centres, AMRC with Boeing and Nuclear AMRC offering their groundbreaking model and experience in engaging academics with a strong industrial partnership base. The centre will be supported by all seven HVM Catapult Centres, and HVMC Chief Technology Officers will form the Steering Committee of the centre, and a part of EPSRC HVMC FC Forum. The fellowships will enable academic staff to spend 6-month research visits in either one or more HVM Catapult centres spread flexibly between 1-4 years. The establishment of EPSRC HVMC FC will be strongly aligned with the following aspects of the EPSRC strategy:- Key cross-cutting objective of Manufacturing the Future Challenge theme for 2011-2015 is to work in the UK Innovation Landscape by having joint strategy and investments with other key agencies in research funding and policy, and- Key strategic goal for EPSRC for 2011-2015 is to deliver impact. HVM Catapults are ideally positioned to accelerate the implementation of university-led innovations and to promptly bridge current industrial needs with novel scientific knowledge.In addition, a closer engagement of the UK academics with industrially led research centres will shape their novel research concepts into applicable technologies throughout high-value manufacturing sector.
