IAA Proposal Imperial College London

帝国理工学院的方法是基于对其他研究委员会的冲击加速计划的成功管理。通过调整我们目前代表其他资助者支持的活动类型，并调整我们的学者获得资金的流程，我们将在NERC资助的社区中长期提高对这一机会的认识。因此，我们将继续支持独立的研究者领导的和基于小组的项目，这些项目建立在NERC以前资助的研究基础上。我们将举行与第一阶段类似的申请呼吁，这将是我们优先使用资金的地方。此外，与学院的企业伙伴关系部门合作，我们将创建一个定制的基于NERC的活动，以鼓励和激励NERC资助的研究人员的更广泛的受众。我们将向工业和政策为基础的观众展示NERC资助的研究在帝国理工学院当前和未来的影响，并支持其他人探索与工业合作。NERC的代表将被邀请参加此次活动。资金将提供给那些专注于向学术界以外的最终用户提供或促进nerc资助的研究成果的项目。符合条件的活动包括但不限于：1。2.早期商业化/市场评估/概念验证；研讨会，研讨会或专题讨论会；3. 制作审计业务资料作商业用途；4. 4 .制作材料，提高对研究成果的认识，并向下一阶段的投资者传播；与行业和其他终端用户社区（包括新受众）的互动活动；6. 借调、人员交换或安置；此方法将用于实现目标1)、2)和3)。

Imperial's approach is based on successful management of impact acceleration schemes from other Research Councils. By aligning the types of activities we currently support on behalf of other funders, and aligning our processes for academics to receive funding we will increase the awareness of this opportunity amongst the NERC funded community in the long term. We will therefore continue to support discrete investigator-led and group based projects which build on research funded by previous grants from NERC. We will hold a similar call for applications as in Phase I. This will be our prioritised use of the funding. In addition, working with the College's Corporate Partnerships Division we will create a bespoke NERC based event to encourage and inspire a broader audience of NERC funded researchers. We will showcase the current and future impact of NERC's funded research at Imperial to an industrial and policy- based audience, and support others in their exploration of engaging with industry. NERC representatives will be invited to this event.Funding will be provided for projects that focus on delivering or promoting the benefits of NERC-funded research to end users outside of academia. Eligible activities would include, but not be limited to: 1. Early stage commercialisation/market assessments/proof of concept;2. Workshops, seminars, or symposia; 3. Production of engagement materials for commercial use; 4. Production of materials to increase awareness of research outputs and dissemination to next stage investors;5. Engagement events with industry and other end user communities, including new audiences; 6. Secondments, people exchange, or placements;This approach will be used to meet objectives 1), 2) and 3).
