An opportunity for postgraduate researchers and research staff at Newcastle University to explore a sustainability challenge, make your research make a difference and compete for a prize of £10,000.
ACTION 2011 enables you to get away from your desk, collaborate and think like an entrepreneur in order to develop a commercial approach to your research.
Working in teams, researchers will identify a sustainability challenge and, with training and support, produce a prototype, video, model or other visual form to showcase their solution. They will then use this to compete for the prize money, which will be presented at a showcase event towards the end of 2011.
The programme is designed to help participants enhance the outcomes of their research. Academic members of staff are welcome and encouraged to mentor and/or support teams.
