| This award of £40,000 from The Royal Academy of Engineering has been made possible by the generous support of the ERA Foundation. A prize fund has been established to identify entrepreneurial researchers, working in UK universities, in the field of electro-technology, who are at an early stage in their career. The award will be presented to an individual or team demonstrating considerable entrepreneurial promise and the potential to benefit the UK’s future prosperity.
The winning entry will receive a prize of £10,000
along with a further £30,000 to invest in the
development of the winning idea. The winner(s) will
be assigned an appropriate member of the judging
panel as a mentor for a period of two years. In
addition to the first award, two additional cash
prizes of £2,000 will be presented to runners-up.
All Prize winners and their home institutions
receive significant publicity for this event
endorsed by The Royal Academy of Engineering.
The closing date for nominations is Thursday 30
October 2008. For more information, please visit:
