Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Enterprise Fellowships
Applications are now being
accepted. The deadline for the submission of
applications is Monday 9 September 2013.
Enterprise Fellowships provide
funding and support to outstanding entrepreneurial
engineering researchers, working at a UK University,
to enable them to develop a spin-out business around
their technological idea.
-
The aim of the Enterprise Fellowship Scheme is to
enable aspiring entrepreneurs to commercialise
technology based business ideas from academic
institutions into spin out companies.
-
Enterprise
Fellowships provide up to £85,000 seed funding and
salary support for 12 months to develop a commercial
enterprise based in the UK.
-
In addition to the
funding, training will be provided to give each
Enterprise Fellow the tools, contacts and confidence
to transform their idea into a successful business
project or venture.
-
Business mentors (drawn mainly
from The Royal Academy of Engineering Fellows) will
be allocated to each Enterprise Fellow to provide
additional support and advice for the duration of
the Enterprise Fellowship as well as access to
business angels and venture capital networks.
For
further details please contact Katie Melton
If you work in a 'Research
Grants Office' or equivalent, and so aid your
colleagues in applying to such schemes, please email
research info to be added to a mailing list so we
can update you directly when core rules change and
new Calls for applications are announced.
