impulse Partners offering Fellowships for 2025
BBSRC Impact Acceleration Account (BBSRC IAA) has awarded the University an Impact Acceleration Account (IAA), to promote wider and more effective engagement with the impact agenda. The Account provides the University with resources to deliver impact and work on the exploitation of outcomes from its EPSRC research portfolio, with the key objective of shortening the time to impact. The IAA brings together a number of previous initiatives to provide more flexibility, including early stage commercialisation, developing new partnerships and reaching out to researchers who do not normally engage in commercialisation activities.
BBSRC IAA is offering Fellowships to Cambridge University Postdocs in the fields of Biotechnology and Biological Sciences.
