The objectives of the Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) programme are:
To build the capacity of researchers for entrepreneurship and commercialization of their research;
To create international networks of innovators and technology entrepreneurs.
The programme is aimed at researchers who are about to develop, or are in the process of developing, a business proposition for their innovation. A select cohort of researchers will benefit from a focused period of training in the UK, access to expert coaches, and opportunities for international networking. In the short term, they will develop-with the support of the programme - a commercialization plan for their innovation. In the long term, they will benefit from access to an international network of peer innovators, in taking their commercialization plan forward.
