EPSRC Challenge Network in Automotive Power Electronics

Transcription

1 EPSRC Challenge Network in Automotive Power Electronics Director Professor Mark Johnson Transforming our future through world-leading, underpinning research, combining the UK s best academic talent

2 The Knowledge Pipeline TRL EPSRC Challengebased academic research Challenge Network APC Roadmap-based collaborative research APC Spoke Challenge Network: TRL 1-3, led by research base, challenges informed by industry Innovate & APC: Roadmap-based industrially-led research

3 Driving Success: Academic Research Collaboration Network to develop and steer portfolio of relevant projects EPSRC Network ~ 1M Academic lead with industry steering group Challenges Challenge Standard Proposals Possible Calls depending on challenges identified Multiple Academic/ Industry project proposals Portfolio Steering via Network industry panel Standard Peer Review. Bespoke panels for Calls Review & Selection Balanced & Knowledgeable Panel Academic Excellence + Strategic Relevance EPSRC budget according to proposals submitted & peer review recommendations. Industry contributions on project basis EPSRC/Industry Multiple Individual projects EPSRC/Industry EPSRC/Industry EPSRC/Industry Project Portfolio Individual projects have input/steering from business Report To Technology Group June

4 Network EPSRC funded network: 3 years from July 2016, total funding 1M Brings together the academic and industrial communities: Identify and address the long-term challenges at TRL 1-3 Develop a Challenge Network Strategy Provide input into Automotive Council roadmaps Stimulate generation of research proposals Enable 2-way knowledge exchange with industry Instruments: Workshops (strategy setting and road maps) Sandpits to develop collaborative research Funded feasibility studies supporting new ideas / consortia Funded KTP and industry-academia secondment
