Funding Opportunities
The Academy has funding available to support the creation of online educational resources. These will be shared with all staff as and when they arise.
Industrial Partnerships
The Academy has been working with a cohort of industrial partners (e.g. DSTL, BAE Systems, Roke, Northrop Grumman). If you have a research idea relevant to these partners and would like assistance with making connections, feel free to reach out to the Academy’s Director, Dr Basel Halak.
