Sharing research excellence
Every researcher has their own unique knowledge set, bringing with them ideas and approaches that could benefit the UK. That is why collaboration and co-creation remains at the heart of the Catapult Network’s activity.
Every researcher has their own unique knowledge set, bringing with them ideas and approaches that could benefit the UK. That is why collaboration and co-creation remains at the heart of the Catapult Network’s activity.
Working with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the HVM Catapult led an initial knowledge transfer scheme in 2014 to strengthen our links with the wider academic base. Based on this work, we have established a broader EPSRC Researchers in Residence programme, bringing leading academics from across the country into both our Centres and other Catapults to undertake research into the technologies that will provide much-needed impact for the UK economy.
With more than 40 researchers hosted within the Catapult Network each year, we are working to extend this programme in 2022, bringing industry, researchers and innovators closer and closer together each day.
