Goal of PBIAA
Place Based Impact Accelerator Accounts (PBIAAs) are a central element of UKRI - EPSRC’s Place strategy, supporting programmes of impact activities that strengthen partnerships and drive regional growth, informed by both national priorities and local context. They feature consortium-led delivery which supports collaborations between universities, civic partners, and businesses, aligned to local ambitions. The programmes are tailored to address the specific opportunities and needs of Belfast and beyond.
PBIAA Themes
The PBIAA will focus on three main themes:
- Future Healthcare Technology Leader: bringing together emerging healthcare technology leaders from academia, business and clinical/civic organisations to share knowledge, address gaps, develop insight and explore opportunity.
- Advancing Trusted Research: improving access to existing and novel data with existing and emerging tools.
- Place Based Projects: collaborative funding is available to support project-based activities that examine locally based healthcare and civic challenges and blockages that could be addressed with Digital Healthcare Technology.
