Action For Impact An innovation and enterprise programme for postgraduate researchers aimed at creating impact of all kinds from research. Encouraging researchers to evolve their innovative and enterprising behaviours, whilst developing commercial awareness Allows researchers to consider challenges that they are addressing, and become capable of realising the commercial, economic and societal impact of their research The realisation of their impact is facilitated by a series of competitive Impact Fellowships, which will include engagement with industry, society and the world outside ‘the lab’. An Impact Fellowship is the name that we have given to the period of impact achievement which we are able to support with grant-based prize funding.
