IAA Proposal

试点NERC影响加速基金的第二阶段将支持一些具体举措，旨在增强NERC资助的研究的影响，这些研究在试点第一阶段对NERC资助的研究进行审计时被确定为具有商业相关性。这些举措将由第一阶段试点期间雇用的工作人员与商业关系团队的其他成员以及大学内的其他相关人员共同组织和实施，这些团队作为EPSRC影响加速帐户的一部分从事类似活动。我们所有的倡议都将包括一个重要的行业组成部分，其中心目标是提高nerc资助研究的影响。活动将包括：组织关于特定研究主题的便利讲习班，管理合作种子基金以启动与工业界的项目，以及开发营销材料以提高NERC和爱丁堡大学的外部形象和知名度。

Phase II of the Pilot NERC Impact Acceleration funding will support a number of specific initiatives, aimed at enhancing the impact of NERC-funded research that was identified as being of commercial relevance during an audit of NERC-funded research carried out during Phase I of the pilot. These initiatives will be organised and delivered by the member of staff employed during the Phase I pilot, in conjunction with the rest of the Commercial Relations Team, who are engaged in similar activities as part of the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account, and other relevant personnel within the University. All our initiatives will include a significant industry component with the central aim of enhancing the impact of NERC-funded research. Activities will include: the organisation of facilitated workshops on specific research themes, the administration of collaborative seed funding to kick-start projects with industry, and the development of marketing materials to raise the NERC and University of Edinburgh's external profile and visibility.
