Transformative Innovation in the Delivery of Assisted Living products and services (TIDAL)

潮汐测绘（WS1）。在与合作伙伴协商的指导下，我们将开展一系列短期重点项目。前两期将重点关注英国脱欧后AT的监管环境，并将审查epsrc资助的研究成功转化为AT产品和服务的情况。该网络将开发另外三个短期项目，重点关注主要障碍和促进因素。潮汐社区发展（WS2）将建立网络并保持包容性参与。一项主要活动将是举办年度专题讨论会和博士讨论会，第一个重点是负责任的工程。潮汐研究（WS3）。我们资助多达8个研究项目，最高6.5万英镑（每个主题2个），以跨学科团队，他们有一个优秀的研究假设，以解决一个明确的未满足的需求。将有三个发展步骤：1)议程设置研讨会2)有针对性的电话和团队建设研讨会（即迷你沙坑）；3)评审和选择资助方案。所有的研究项目都将有一个商业导师，我们也将支持学术界的行业实习（最多2个月），并鼓励行业资助的学术实习。在与合作伙伴初步磋商的指导下，我们将以三个主题启动网络+。1)负责任的工程2)通信辅助传感器和数据科学3)设计与数字制造系统（DMS）和物理设备。随着TIDAL N+的增长，将添加一个额外的主题。WS4：网络教育与传播（WS4）：潮汐项目由Holloway领导，他共同领导了1980万英镑的AT2030计划（www.at2030.org）和全球残疾人创新中心（GDI Hub）学术研究中心。这些倡议已经有了良好的沟通和传播网络，TIDAL将利用这些优势。具体活动将包括根据WS1-3的工作制定政策说明，通过黑客马拉松和以TIDAL N+为主题的GDI Hub Live活动与当地创新者、学院和学校进行接触。

TIDAL Mapping (WS1). Guided by our consultations with partners we will carry out a series of short focused projects. The first two will focus on the regulatory landscape for AT post-Brexit and will review successful translation of EPSRC-funded research into AT products and services. Three further short projects, focused on key barriers and enablers will be developed by the Network. TIDAL community development (WS2) will establish the Network and maintain inclusive engagement. A major activity will be running the Annual Symposia and Doctoral Colloquium, with the first focussed on Responsible Engineering. TIDAL Research (WS3). We fund up to eight research projects of up to £65k (aiming for 2 per theme) to interdisciplinary teams who have an excellent research hypothesis for solving a clear unmet need. There will be three steps of development: 1) an agenda setting workshop 2) targeted calls and a team building workshop (i.e. mini sandpit); 3) review and select proposals for funding. All research projects will have a business mentor and we will also support industry placements (2 months maximum) for academics, and encourage industry-funded placements into academia. Guided by initial consultations with partners we will begin the Network+ with three themes. 1) Responsible Engineering 2) Sensors and Data Science for Communication Aids 3) Design & Digital Manufacturing Systems (DMS) & Physical Devices. An additional theme will be added as TIDAL N+ grows.WS4: Network Education & Dissemination (WS4) : The TIDAL project is led by Holloway, who co-leads the £19.8million AT2030 Programme (www.at2030.org) and the Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) Academic Research Centre. These initiatives already have excellent networks for communication and dissemination and TIDAL will take advantage of these. Specific activities will include the development of policy notes based on the work in WS1-3, engagement with local innovators, colleges and schools through hackathons and GDI Hub Live events themed to TIDAL N+.
