Overview of the NR 4ward programme
We’ve gained funding from Research England to set up a pilot programme to support staff and postgraduate researchers in UEA and across Norwich Research Park in maximising the impact of innovation and research by achieving business success.
The NR 4ward programme runs until 30 April 2025 and is about building on our track record of supporting researchers to translate their research and generating impact through setting up businesses to develop and commercialise the research outputs (commonly known as “spinouts”) across Norwich Research Park. As part of the programme, we are providing a range of free training sessions, expert guidance and mentoring opportunities to enable staff and postgraduate researchers to develop skills and knowledge and network with successful entrepreneurs and peers. The project ends in April 2025 – so do not miss out....
