The five finalists in EPSRCs Knowledge Transfer Challenge Awards all have a strong track record in turning their research into benefits for UK society.

The five finalists and their track record in Knowledge Transfer:

  • Aston University

    Technology that monitors the heartbeat of unborn children

  • University of Reading
    Cutting-edge polymer packaging to protect delicate electronics

The awards are being hosted by Ian Pearson, Minister of State for Science and Innovation, Professor David Delpy, Chief Executive of EPSRC and John Armitt, EPSRC Chair.

Ian Pearson, Science and Innovation Minister said:

"To ensure that society reaps the benefits of scientific research, innovation has to be transformed into tomorrows products and services.

EPSRCs Knowledge Transfer Challenge provides an ideal opportunity for researchers to demonstrate the wider benefits of some of the great work that is carried out in British Universities. The power of knowledge, ideas and innovation is key to the nations economic health. It is crucial for us to transform knowledge into successful products and new jobs if we are to compete in a rapidly changing world.

The Awards provide one route to support this process, helping universities to turn their cutting-edge research into social and economic gains for everyone.
