The Royal Society invites applications for its entrepreneur in residence scheme. This enables industrial scientists and entrepreneurs to spend one day a week working in UK universities or non-profit research organisations developing a bespoke project to increase the knowledge and awareness of cutting edge industrial science, research and innovation. The aim is to impact both university research and teaching to enable translation of university research into industry, grow entrepreneurial culture within universities and address the skills needs of industry by developing curricula that produce industry-ready graduates. Up to 10 awards, worth up to £20,000 each over one year, are available and may cover salary, travel and project costs.
