Space Research Centre IPSS Fellowship Extension

自2009年4月以来，科技和金融中心一直在支助莱斯特大学空间研究中心的一名国际空间研究所研究员。该研究员一直负责发起一个重大的文化变革，以接受知识交流（KT）在部门和大学一般。该奖学金计划已经启动了超过25个成功的KT项目，获得了总额超过450万英镑的赠款和合同。这些KT项目包括早期商业企业，分拆公司和更大规模的战略举措，以促进STFC的使命，发展基础设施，扩大我们的空间研究中心KT活动的影响和范围。该奖学金进一步加强了在将空间研究中心和专门知识转移到工业和非空间商业应用方面已经建立的记录。英国航天部门被视为英国杰出的增长部门之一。该部门在很大程度上由所谓的“下游”相关企业组成，如电信。空间研究中心的核心活动、资源和培训产出与“上游”业务更加紧密地联系在一起，涵盖航天器子系统，估计价值约7.25亿英镑。因此，继续从SRC成功转让技术和知识将对英国工业和学术界产生重大的经济影响，此外还将为SRC吸引更多的资源，从而进一步扩大产能。继续开展以空间研究中心内部技术潜力为重点的IPS研究金，将大大提高空间研究中心技术商业化和知识转让产出的速度和成功率。主要目标：o增加向工业界和其他机构转让技术的数量o市场和促进空间研究中心和科技和技术转让中心的技术转让目标o提高空间研究中心技术商业化和知识转让产出的速度和成功率。

STFC has supported an IPS Fellow at the Space Research Centre, University of Leicester since April 2009. The Fellow has been responsible for initiating a major cultural change towards the acceptance of Knowledge Exchange (KT) within the Department and in the University in general. The Fellowship programme has initiated over 25 successful KT projects securing grants and contract totalling in excess of £4.5M. These KT projects include early stage commercial ventures, spin out companies, and larger-scale, strategic initiatives to further the STFC's mission and to develop the infrastructure and extend the influence and range of our Space Research Centre KT activities. The Fellowship has further enhanced an already established track record in transferring Space Research Centre and expertise knowledge into industry and into non-space commercial applications.The UK space sector is seen as one of the outstanding growth sectors in the UK. The sector is comprised in large part by the, so called, 'downstream' related businesses such as telecommunications. The Space Research Centre 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. Continuing the successful transfer of technologies and knowledge from the SRC will therefore have significant economic impact both to UK industry and academia in addition to attracting increased resources to the SRC enabling further expansion of capacity. Continuation of the IPS Fellowship 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 instituteso Market and promote the Space Research Centre and the STFC technology transfer aimso Increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs.
