Abstract

This was a collaborative programme developed and run by two of the five Scottish universities awarded Impact Acceleration Accounts by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council). The remaining three IAA universities were involved in the initial stages of development and members of their institutions attended the workshops. Knowledge Exchange professionals managing these accounts formed a working group to identify common, research-rich areas within their universities. The working group of IAA managers liaised with government, third sector organisations and academics within their universities to identify the Circular Economy as an increasingly important research area with potential to create significant impact. Within this, the field identified as high potential but not currently fully supported was the bioeconomy.
