Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Research Chair in Emerging Technologies
The current round is now
closed and the text below is for information
purposes only.
The Academy has a long
established programme of Research Chairs and Senior
Research Fellowships that are jointly funded with
industry partners. These work well, not least
because the industry partner – often a large
organisation – is investing in generic research in
an area which is established and recognised to be in
the interests of the industry. The
academic/industrial links established through this
programme have been widely acclaimed.
The Academy
considered that in addition to the Research Chair
scheme there was a requirement for engineering
research into emerging technologies where, by
definition, the technology is immature and hence
unlikely to be at stage where it can be further
developed by industry.
In 2008, The Research Chair
in Emerging Technologies was created to fulfil this
need, enabling a research professor to undertake
work at an ultra-precompetitive level and develop an
area of technology to a stage where it will attract
interest from the wider research community and
subsequently be taken forward by industry.
Initially, only one Research Chair in Emerging
Technologies was appointed but we are pleased to
announce that we have made a second appointment this
year.
