Aurora Knowledge Exchange Announcement of Opportunity

The UK Space Agency announces knowledge exchange funding to develop technology directly from the ESA Aurora programme into the wider community. Proposals are invited to be of a scientific or technology nature providing a real impact to the UK economy.

All UK based communities (academic, industrial and other) are invited to submit proposals and must define how technology developed under the Aurora programme is to be used. Applications can be made individually or in partnership with other organisations, however industry and academia will be funded under the rules stipulated in the scope of funding, which is presented in the announcement of Opportunity (AO).

Funding is available of up to £75K per proposal, to accelerate transfer or commercialisation of research developed under Aurora.
