UofG Science & Engineering IAA

Congratulations to Dr Gilles Bailet and his collaborators! 🎉

Using #EPSRC IAA funding, we've produced this video to showcase the now award-winning facility, the NextSpace TestRig 👇

Share your views on what's needed – and what's possible – in measuring the environmental impact of our actions to achieve #Scotland's climate goals.

Join the conversation at our #Sustainability Salon: Environmental #Sensing on Wed 25 Feb.

Book now: www.eventbrite.com/e/sustainabi...

Dr Gilles Bailet of @uofgengineering.bsky.social explains how the #EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) and colleagues across the University of Glasgow - from technicians to lawyers - help move his research toward real‑world applications.

Take a look around our IAA Impact Festival – a one-day event for academics who want to create #impact from their research 🚀

Jointly organised by the Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt and St Andrews.

This year's keynote was delivered by science presenter Fran Scott! 🔥

Knowledge Exchange Associate David Hughes facilitates the conversation.

At our recent #Sustainability Salon, researchers and industry experts discussed the challenges around #EVs - their weight, battery technology & charging infrastructure, as well as battery-powered public transport and the potential of hydrogen.

The two-day trial, funded by the EPSRC #IAA, connected 21 volunteer doctors who joined remotely from within and outside Nigeria to provide live video consultations for 81 internally displaced people over a secure 5G network.

Congratulations to Dr Manlio Tassieri and his team, and Soapworks Ltd, on winning two Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) awards!🎉

Before the KTP project started, the EPSRC #IAA funded a PDRA for 6 months, to de-risk the project's technical aspects.

New 3D printers could transform space construction Glasgow researcher is awarded a patent for a system to carry out construction on-demand on a space flight.

Happy #WorldSpaceWeek!

Did you know that Dr Gilles Bailet is developing a 3D printing technology that will work in zero gravity, enabling in-space manufacturing and recycling?

He tested it in microgravity in @esa.int flights
