Ion-Molecule Processes for Analytical Chemical Technologies

Livrables

Development of TC, RC and Satisfaction Feedback forms.

Forms to be used by ESRs for feedback on all network activities

All ESRs to have completed examinations for PhD by the end of the IMPACT network.

IMPACTS's PCDP produced during the Initial Planning Training Meeting

All partners will ensure that results are effectively disseminated within and outside of the Network to other institutions and sectors. Communication of results and deliverables will occur through publications in peer reviewed journals, international conferences and national seminars. Use of press offices in academic beneficiaries’ institutions will be used to disseminate to appropriate journalists and media important results of public interest from all areas of IMPACT. ESRs will be required to deliver outreach activities for non-specialists as a whole network activity and in small groups.

Appointment of Exploitation Manager

Exploitation manager appointed in month 6 to act as the independent Private Sector Involvement and Liaison Officer. His role is to ensure that that the needs of the private sector are being met and that collaborations are fully inclusive, and if not to help facilitate these. He will help to establish and maintain a liaison between the non-academic and academic institutions. He will also provide feedback on academic-private sector involvement and help to manage the communication, capability awareness and knowledge transfer between the sectors to ensure that information and opportunities are made available to interested stakeholders. The Exploitation Manager will also ensure that ideas and development are correctly apportioned.

Network Meetings, Workshops & Training Courses

IMPACT offers an integrated, comprehensive and coherent training package that provides a portfolio of multidisciplinary, intersectoral and transferable skills. Our training programme and the unique partnership of IMPACT’s participants contain the key elements and expertise to assist ESRs to develop such skills. IMPACT provides the training activities for producing creative, enterprising and entrepreneurial scientists by showing ESRs how to (i) lead, shape and create projects, (ii) innovate, (iii) be resourceful, proactive and motivated, (iv) have good organisational skills, (v) be results orientated, and (v) take calculated risks in order to seek solutions to problems.

Supervisory Board Setup

Supervisory board set-up

Appointment of Project Manager

Project manager in place before the start of the IMPACT network. Kathleen will support Chris Mayhew in coordinating the project. She will assemble agendas, publish minutes, compile and circulate reports, disseminate information to partners, coordinate annual progress and mid-term reviews, maintain progress records and provide a common point of contact for all participants.

IMPACT International Conference

International conferences which have an instrumental, intersectoral and multidisciplinary bias will be used to communicate results through displays, posters and oral presentations.

IMPACT’s Career Fair

Two day event: Potential and current “end-users” (academia, governmental institutes and private sector companies) and analytical instrumental companies will be invited to the career fairs. ESRs will have practice interviews, present CVs and PCDPs.

IMPACT’s Newsletter

An annual IMPACT Newsletter (editor: J. Williams (MPG)) will be produced - all ESRs will be encouraged to contribute.

IMPACT’s Public Engagement Day

ESRs and PIs will take part in SCIMS demonstrations e.g. breath samples, chemicals in the environment, pollution. This will involve interactive displays to highlight how fundamental, applied and technological research activities have been united to advance SCIMS technologies and to tackle a number of societal issues, ranging from non-invasive methods for diagnosing disease through to pollution monitoring.

Satisfaction Questionnaire

ESR generated anonymous feedback form on all network activities

Secondments

Secondments will develop collaborative projects and provide an important route for international, multidisciplinary and intersectoral ESR mobility to enhance career perspectives in both the academic and non-academic areas. Secondments to the non-academic sector play an important role of ensuring that ESRs have intersectoral mobility and consolidating collaborative projects. Secondments also ensure that ESRs and all participants (beneficiaries and partners) are fully integrated into and involved in the network and its research goals. They also provide ESRs with new skills in techniques, technologies and entrepreneurship not available to them in their host institutes and from a private sector perspective. Secondments improve ESRs’ employability by broadening their outlook and developing entrepreneurial skills.
