I went to an event yesterday that was set up to introduce the industry to some new opportunities for accessing academic research expertise. the event was organised by METRC, who are the N8 Molecular Engineering Translational Research Centre. The set up is based on industry taking their challenges and R&D requirements to the METRC team who then pull together the different academic groups across the Yorkshire region who have the expertise to address the requirements. The hope is that the process will start to tackle the perceived wall between academia and industry in a way that will bring economic benefits to all.
METRC was set up by N8 a partnership between the eight research-intensive universities in the North of England (Durham, Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York) , who have established a number of these kinds of groups tackling different areas of science.
The important bit for us is that at the moment there are some proof of concept grants available that can be attached to projects going through the system, these grants up to £50K are available to address overhead costs of the research, so bring the costs down. I will be looking into this for a few of my clients.
