Enterprise Fellowships: Developing commercial potential of research


BBSRC and The Royal Society of Edinburgh seek proposals to the Enterprise Fellowships 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, allowing the Fellows to focus on developing the commercial potential of their research over a 12-month period.

The Fellowships are available to academic staff, research staff and postgraduates with relevant experience 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 on 4 May 2010. Interviews will take place in early 2010 and Fellowships are expected to start in October 2010.

Application forms and further details are available from:
