The Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training invested in ten responsive impact grants for Horizon CDT students and DTC alumni in order to extend the potential impact of their research.
These awards were designed to support the first investigative steps of taking EPSRC-funded research carried out in the CDT and associated research groups towards commercialisation, or other forms of economic, societal, environmental and policy-based impact. The sub-projects were funded from EPSRC grant reference EP/G037574/1, Ubiquitous Computing for a Digital Economy, and the associated activities ran from August 2017 through to March 2018.
Details of the sub-projects and the individuals who were successful in securing the grants are listed below. The Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute also released a news item on six of these grants here.
