The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s Impact Acceleration Account (EPSRC IAA) funding at Bath helps to speed up the contribution that research makes towards innovation across industry, business, charities and the public sector.
Since the inception of the award in 2012, the ESPRC has awarded the University of Bath over £6 million and leveraged funds of more than £10 million, to support knowledge exchange and impact activities across our institution.
