Space Research Centre PIPSS Fellowship

莱斯特大学在空间研究方面有着悠久的历史，在过去的40年里，莱斯特大学一直在太空中放置一个或多个仪器，这是一项杰出的记录。该大学的空间研究中心（SRC）成立于1998年，是英国专注于空间相关技术的领先研究机构之一。该中心与世界上许多空间研究机构合作，享有令人羡慕的国际声誉。除了在开发空间相关技术方面已得到证实的能力和成功外，SRC在将这些知识转化为工业和非空间商业应用方面也有良好的记录。据认为，英国航天部门每年的价值接近50亿英镑，雇佣了大约16000名技术人员（超过60%的人拥有学位）。该行业在很大程度上由电信等所谓的“下游”相关业务组成。空间研究中心（SRC）的核心活动、资源和训练产出与“上游”业务更紧密地联系在一起，包括航天器子系统，估计价值约为7.25亿英镑。因此，SRC的技术和知识的成功转移可能会对英国工业界和学术界产生重大的经济影响，但也会吸引更多的资源到SRC，从而进一步扩大能力。任命一名专注于科学研究委员会技术潜力的专业人才，将大大提高科学研究委员会技术商业化和知识转移产出的速度和成功率。主要目标：增加向工业和其他机构转让技术的数量，以推广和促进空间研究中心和科学技术基金的技术转让目的：提高科学研究中心的技术商业化和知识转移产出的速度和成功率。

The University of Leicester has a long history in space research and has the distinguished record of always having one, or more, of its instruments in space over the last 40 years. The University's Space Research Centre (SRC) was opened in 1998 and is one of the UK's leading research institutes focussed on space-related technologies. The centre has an enviable international reputation collaborating with many of the world's space research agencies. In addition to its proven ability and success in developing space-related technologies the SRC has an established track record in transferring this knowledge into industry and into non-space commercial applications. The UK space sector is thought to be worth close to £5bn annually , employing some 16,000 skilled (over 60% degree qualified) people. The sector is comprised in large part by the, so called, 'downstream' related businesses such as telecommunications. The Space Research Centre (SRC) core activities, resources and trained output are more closely allied with the 'upstream' businesses, covering spacecraft sub-systems, which are estimated to be worth some £725m. Successful transfer of technologies and knowledge from the SRC could therefore have significant economic impact both to UK industry and academia but would also attract increased resources to the SRC enabling further expansion of capacity. Appointment of a PIPSS Fellow focussed on the technology potential within the SRC would dramatically increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs. Main aims: o Increase the amount of technology transfer to industry and other institutes o Market and promote the Space Research Centre and the STFC technology transfer aims o Increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs.
