Queen Mary researchers are now encouraged to apply for the Queen Mary Impact Fund programme! The programme offers financial support to carry out impact-enabling projects with a focus on early-stage research commercialisation, stakeholder engagement, knowledge exchange and funding new and innovative approaches to accelerating impact from research.
