Through a mixture of face to face and online learning split over 3 modules, participants will take courses in such areas as:

• Global vision and value propositions
• Market strategy and planning
• Business models
• Legal Issues
• Intellectual Property
• Financial Strategy

Bursaries from the Henry Royce Institute

The Henry Royce Institute is offering bursaries to pay for a number of materials science researchers to take part in the Impulse 2021 Programme. Successful applicants will receive up to £3000 to cover the cost of the 12 week programme.

Candidates looking to be sponsored by the Royce must be postgraduate research students or postdocs working in advanced materials research at a UK Higher Education Institute.

Successful applicants will have an existing idea that they wish to be informed by the Impulse programme. This idea does not need to be fully developed, the aim of the Impulse Programme is to inform this.
