The Royal Academy of Engineering has been engaged as a Delivery Partner under the Newton Fund – an initiative of the UK Government to enhance science, innovation and research cooperation with 18 countries.
As part of the Newton Fund the Academy is implementing the Industry Academia Partnership Programme which aims to support Partner Country universities in improving their engineering education and research output through strengthening industry linkages and leveraging UK expertise. The Programme is based upon the premise that strategic linkages between industry and academia can improve quality and foster innovation and entrepreneurship within engineering departments, in turn enhancing employability of graduates and boosting economic development through application-inspired research and innovation.
Awards provide funding of up to GBP 50,000 for applying consortia to conduct activities in support of the Programme Objectives. The Award amount requested must be matched by at least 50% from the applying consortia.
All collaborations under this call must begin during April 2019 and end by 30th April 2021.
