The application period is now open for the 2017 Armourers & Brasiers Materials Science Venture Prize.
The prize is worth £25,000 in the form of an investment and is awarded to take forward the commercialisation of innovative research in Materials Science.
This is the tenth year of the competition. Previous successful projects reflect the broad range of research in Materials Science and include biomaterials, ceramics, conductive materials and protective coatings. In many cases the award of the prize has helped to attract additional funds from other investors very promptly. The prize has been awarded to projects originating from the following universities: Cambridge, Liverpool, UCL, Sheffield Hallam, Oxford, Queen Mary University of London, Aberdeen, Bristol and Swansea. More information about previous winners is available on the website.
Applications are invited from UK-based scientists and should be submitted on the Venture Prize Application Form by 24th March 2017.
