A key aim of the programme is to foster new links between individuals and groups who are yet to engage with the Catapult Network cluster of research centres and will focus on the themes of net zero, healthcare and wellbeing, and resilience.It will support two complementary pathways for research residencies both of which aim to place the right researcher in the right Catapult centre at the right time but differ in focus. The first pathway aims to support residencies that contribute directly to delivery of the strategic roadmaps of the Catapult Network centres, which are near-term industry needs. The second aims to leverage the capability of the Catapult Network centres to accelerate the translation of science in partnership with higher education institutions (HEIs) and regional innovation ecosystems, which can include other non-Catapult research and technology organisations (RTOs) and incubators.This event will launch the network and the first call for applications to the Researchers in Residence programme.
