Expressions of interest are now being welcomed for Small Business Engagement Award funding.

The Small Business Engagement Award is designed to enable University of Nottingham academics to engage in knowledge exchange with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) via the established pathway of the Ingenuity Network – the university’s local business network.

Using a proven platform of events and facilitated business engagement activities, successful applicants will be given the opportunity to develop their business engagement skills, disseminate their research to SMEs and develop meaningful external relationships that can lead to impact.

Funded by the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF), the activities supported by these awards must be geared towards HEIF goals of achieving economic and/or social benefit to the UK. Awards of up to £4K are available to cover direct costs of academic time and project delivery costs.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday 27 September.
