Innovation Fund
The proramme's Innovation Fund is designed to enable academics and industrialists associated with TEAM-A to build new research and strengthen existing relationships with non-academic partners and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
The scheme which runs until September 2022, has two funding streams that are designed to enable a ladder of progression through which research can be furthered and partnerships supported. The Innovation Fund Handbook offers comprehensive guidance and if you have any questions do not hesitate to email.
