Thrilled to announce two UCL researchers have been awarded Proof of Concept funding by UK Research and Innovation! Nominated by UCLB for their research, Max Besenhard, UCL Chemical Engineering, receives funding to develop his research on sustainable drug analysis and purification through smart chromatography, while Youngjun Cho, UCL Computer Science, will be able to test out the feasibility of his accessible journey planner for disabled people, AI Mapper+, with this grant. PoC funding has been a vital part of the commercialisation landscape at UCL for almost two decades. It helps bridge the funding gap between research grants and investment, supporting the early stages of development of many of our highly successful spinouts across a multitude of disciplines. Such funding is vital to help accelerate the development of an idea or technology and turn it into a viable reality, that can be taken to market. Take a look at our stats on the last 10+ years of PoC funding on the journey to commercialisation 👇... ...or find out more about how PoC funding has supported UCL spinouts here: https://lnkd.in/ecz9pBvx
