Leading UK engineering and technology firms, with a combined multi-million pound spend on training and development, will assemble at the IEE 'Investing in Technical Teams' forum on 4 November 2004.
In effect, these grants will not only help the SME tackle a problem they are currently facing, but will also lead to longer-term relationships between the educational institutes and the business community.
Applications are actively encouraged within the Prime area (products with interdependent mechanical and electronic components) and particularly, although not exclusively, relating to: novel packaging of electronic/electromechanical devices; getting MEMs to market; novel power sources for portable applications; and electronic integration in medical devices.
The awards have been designed with minimal bureaucracy, in keeping with the value of the grant, with an online application form that must be received by 19th November 2003.
