The NWAA aim through the ASCE2 program is to significantly increase the number of student engagement projects undertaken between Aerospace Supply Chain companies and Academia. The increased level of Student engagement will allow the development of a network of contacts between the two groups to form and increase the likelihood of further more substantial work happening in the future.

The purpose of this guide is to create a high level document to give a generic description of what Academia has to offer, over what kind of timescales and at an approximate cost. The costs stated are indicative and as always individual circumstances, timescales and requirements will ultimately determine the actual cost.

Ultimately, this document should be a gateway for companies to understand and access universities inclusive of research centres.

Details of any funding calls which could be applicable to NWAA members will also be captured by the NWAA. Where a potentially appropriate call is available, we will make this known.

Details of submissions for funding calls can also be managed by ourselves but would be agreed on a case by case basis.

Description: An extended period of (usually paid by the company) work experience that many firms offer to undergraduate students. Students who enrol on industrial placements are usually required to do so as part of their degree course or can extend their degree for a 12 month industry placement.

While Industrial placements can be structured around specific business requirements, the main focus is normally for the student to work within the normal operations of the business and develop skills while benefiting the company.

Note: Student placements are not an equivalent to consultancy work and a specific outcome cannot be guaranteed at the completion of the project period

Duration to develop and implement: Approximately 1 month - 12 months depending on the level of readiness of both partners (the company and the academic), the project and the availability of funding (is the student/company/sponsor paying)

Ownership of any IPR: always negotiated on case by case basis, unless the company pays 100% of the costs.

Project Duration: 3 – 12 months (full time temporary contract)

Cost: Approximately £1000 per month paid to the student by the company, dependent upon duration of placement.

TSB Funding Calls

Regular calls are made from the Technology Strategy Board for opportunities to take part in funded research. Normally the funding split is 50/50 but SME can qualify for more on some occasions. The key elements for a successful bid involve demonstrating a technical challenge and also showing that there is a risk involved that without the funding would mean it probably would not happen. Industry partners working collaboratively with Academia are seen as very strong groupings by the TSB.

Other Funding Routes for Industry/Academia Research

EPSRC Research

Research grants provide financial support to research organisations for specific research projects in the engineering and physical sciences. Research fellowships provide support for leading scientists and engineers to devote themselves full-time to research activities.

The majority of research funded by EPSRC is supported through research base funding, formerly responsive mode, where proposals can be submitted at any time in any area of EPSRC’s remit. In some research areas they provide support through managed programmes, particularly where joint funding is planned with third parties. These generally operate through calls for proposals in specific areas. Finally, there are a number of tailored funding schemes.

They manage their research portfolio through programmes. They welcome research proposals that span different programmes and will make sure that they are given full and careful evaluation. Projects that span the remits of other research councils are also welcome and can, if necessary, be funded by more than one council.

EU (FP7/8) projects

Knowledge lies at the heart of the European Union’s Lisbon Strategy to become the “most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world”. The ‘ knowledge triangle’ - research, education and innovation - is a core factor in European efforts to meet the ambitious Lisbon goals. Numerous programmes, initiatives and support measures are carried out at EU level in support of knowledge.

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) bundles all research-related EU initiatives together under a common roof playing a crucial role in reaching the goals of growth, competitiveness and employment.

The broad objectives of FP7 have been grouped into four categories: Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities. For each type of objective, there is a specific programme corresponding to the main areas of EU research policy. All specific programmes work together to promote and encourage the creation of European poles of (scientific) excellence.

The European Commission works on broad policy issues affecting entrepreneurship and SMEs across Europe, as well as on the mechanisms delivering support to SMEs (networks, business support measures). It takes action in favour of both existing and potential entrepreneurs. Special attention is given to specific forms of entrepreneurship, such as women entrepreneurs, crafts or social economy enterprises.

All the actions supporting SMEs and entrepreneurship have a unique and comprehensive framework which is the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA), which Member States have committed to implement alongside the European Commission.

Since SMEs have to be supported at local level, the Commission’s activities also consist in helping Member States and the regions to develop policies aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, improving the situation of SMEs throughout their life cycle, and helping them to access new markets.

The identification and exchange of good practices are key elements of this policy.

The European Small Business Portal gathers together all the information provided by the EU on and for SMEs, ranging from practical advice to policy issues, from local contact points to networking links

As there are a large number of access points (EU, universities, TSB) to starting research and then an even wider range of potential projects, the NWAA have simplified the process. Once a potential project has been identified, the next stage is to complete a Basic Idea Proposition (a copy of which can be requested from the innovation team whose details are at the end of this document.)

The Basic Idea proposition form aims to get a brief understanding of the project. As you may not be certain of the best route and options for your ideas, we will consult with our contacts to find the best possible solutions and present all of the options back to you.

In order to give an understanding of this process, the diagram below shows the stages up to your engagement with the appropriate project.

Working with the universities we have developed a matrix of capabilities across all of the universities.

This is a simple guide to let you see who can support you in the area of research you are interested in.

Each of the guides has been broken down by commodity across four key commodity areas.

These are:

• Design and Engineering• Process Treatments• Machining• Composites

Each of these covers a range of themes and sub-themes with each of the institutions clearly indicating the areas they are best placed to support.

While this is not an indication of the full extent of any of the universities capabilities, this guide will give you an understanding of their areas of expertise.

The guide for each of the four commodities can be found on the following pages along with details of how and when to contact the universities.
