EPSRC IAA 2022 - 2025
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has awarded the University of Glasgow a £3.19m Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) for the period from April 2022 to March 2025. These funds are being used to increase the global impact of the University through greater levels of external engagement and entrepreneurship.
The Impact Acceleration Account supports a range of interventions with a focus on investments that pump-prime wider KE activities and impact generation. The IAA aims to deliver this by focusing on 4 core objectives:
- Commercialisation and entrepreneurship
- Partnership development
- Mobility
- Capacity building, culture change and Engagement
The EPSRC IAA provides funding for projects which fit within the remit of EPSRC. Examples of eligible activities include: prototyping, collaborative development, enterprise, industry secondments, and travel to meet with collaborators or attend industry events. These are just a few examples of the types of project that can be supported by the IAA. Other types of activities to support culture change, public engagement, and training are also possible. We will announce new initiatives to support networking and relationship building as well as strategic investments and targeted calls in due course.
If you would like to apply for EPSRC IAA funds, please discuss your idea with a a member of the IAA Team, or a Business / Research Development, KE or Impact Manager in your College.
