Catapult Researchers in Residence Programme

To help increase the connections between the UK research base and the Catapults, Research Councils UK* (RCUK) is supporting the development of new collaborations through research visits/​residencies for university (and other eligible research organisations) academics to spend time embedded within the Catapult teams. Catapult Researchers in Residence (RiR) Awards will build connections, support pathways to impact and knowledge exchange between academia and the Catapult centres. As such, the Catapults have been awarded vouchers (assigned to the Catapults but paid directly to universities or other research organisations) to support a range of activities to accelerate the impact of Research Council (RC)-funded research and/​or expand the capabilities of their centre. This initiative aligns strongly with RCUK’s excellence with impact, through building stronger partnerships in the national innovation system and supporting the best environment for innovation.
