Demonstrating excellence in mobile autonomy
18 May 2018
The Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) holds a world leading position in research on all aspects of land-based autonomous vehicles. The transition from research demonstration to early industrial take up needs substantial professional engineering, which cannot be undertaken by research engineers alone. Professor Paul Newman, from Oxford University’s Department of Engineering Science, used EPSRC IAA funding to smooth that transition.

Enterprising Oxford
18 May 2018
It is increasingly important for researchers to be entrepreneurial – not just in order to start a business or a spin-out company, but so that they can ‘think outside the box’ and take advantage of opportunities to exploit the impact of their research in creative ways. EPSRC IAA funding was used to conduct a short project to better understand the barriers to enterprise training for doctoral students and early career researchers in the Engineering and Physical sciences at the University of Oxford. The project led directly to the IAA-funded development of the Enterprising Oxford digital portal.
