BBSRC Enterprise Fellowships (1)

Enterprise Fellowships are aimed at developing the commercial potential of research. BBSRC and the Royal Society of Edinburgh are seeking proposals to the scheme to support researchers who wish to play a key role in the commercialisation of their research. The Fellowships provide salary and formal business training, and are available to academic staff, research staff and postgraduates with relevant experience. Applicants must be employed by a UK Higher Education Institution or a BBSRC-sponsored Research Institute. The business idea may be in any area within BBSRC's remit provided the original research was largely funded through the Research Council. The next closing date for applications is 5pm, 14 October 2008, with Fellowships expected to commence in April 2009. Application forms and further details are available at the websites below, or by contacting Dr Simon Cutler at: [email protected], or Tel: 01793 413243.
