The Foundation has long supported the Royal Society’s programme for short industry fellowships.
These fellowships promote collaboration between academia and early-stage companies, something we feel should be particularly encouraged. The personal and corporate links established by the researcher between the two sectors in the UK will seed longer-term collaborations and contribute to their long-term future development.
Dr Donaghy-Spargo’s work has potential benefits for the sustainability of supply of materials and reduction of environmental impact, as well as providing innovative new products for the partner company, Black and Decker.
