Impact Acceleration Account (IAA)

  • Second call for applications closes 18 October 2013

Impact Acceleration Accounts have been established to make it easier for university research to find a pathway to making an impact on the economy and society at large. The funding provides a bridge between the outputs of EPSRC funded research and later commercialisation activities. It offers a range of funding streams with which both transformational and incremental activities can be undertaken.

The funding is available through the following four streams:

  • Knoweldge Transfer Secondments
  • Follow-On Technology Conditioning Programmes
  • Seedcorn Funds
  • Building Bridges Awards

“The research we support is recognised as outstanding on the international stage. These Accounts aim to make a step change in the impact that has on society”

Chief Executive of the EPSRC Dave Delpy
