NERC, along with RCUK and PraxisUnico, are delighted to announce their collaboration on the Impact Awards 2015, celebrating the outstanding work of Knowledge Exchange, Technology Transfer and Commercialisation Teams (KEC) across the UK.

 

The Impact Awards highlight best practice and innovative approaches to KEC in UK research organisations and beyond, showcasing the vital contribution made by KEC professionals in developing excellent research into tangible, real-life benefits to society and business. NERC, RCUK and PraxisUnico are working together to highlight how the excellent work being done in this field significantly contributes to the UK’s position as a world-leading destination for research, innovation and to grow business.

 

The Impact Awards competition has four different categories:

 

• Contribution to Business: recognising the outstanding contribution that knowledge exchange, knowledge transfer and/or commercialisation activities have had in benefitting (or have the potential to benefit) a company and/or the economy
• Contribution to Society: recognising the outstanding contribution that knowledge exchange, knowledge transfer or commercialisation activities have had in benefitting (or have the potential to benefit) society
• Outstanding KEC initiative: recognising how an innovative approach to knowledge exchange and commercialisation has the potential to be transformative for the community of KEC professionals
• International Award: recognising outstanding KEC practices, or contribution to business or society by institutions outside of the UK

An overall winner will be selected from the first three categories who will be awarded ‘KEC team of the year’. They will also receive up to £50,000 to contribute to the delivery of KEC approaches as identified in their competition entry. Please note that only institutions currently eligible to receive RCUK funding are eligible to receive the monetary award.

The final judging day and awards ceremony will take place in London on 15th September, 2015.

 

Teams or individuals wishing to enter must complete the online entry form on the Impact Awards website before the competition closes at midnight on Thursday 16 April 2015.
