Networking opportunities with and through the Academy’s Fellowship and events program.
Training and additional funding opportunities provided by the Academy.
The awardee can spend no more than 4 hours per week on teaching/administration duties enabling them to focus on delivering use-inspired research, that creates impact for their industrial sponsor.
