Access expertise by collaborating with leading academics to validate concepts, pilot technologies, and strengthen R&D. This opportunity allows you to leverage funding with academic support funded through GW-SHIFT, with match funding from your organisation or business to provide a shared investment in innovation.
Test your ideas before committing significant resources using state-of-the-art facilities and knowledge, and build partnerships by establishing connections for future grants.

As part of the Network Building strand of the GW-SHIFT programme, SECONDMENTs will develop key partnerships across the region to support the cluster to build on emerging innovations and explore opportunities where there is anticipated growth potential.
These SECONDMENTs could lead to high-impact, co-created collaborative projects within GW-SHIFT, or to grant-funded projects with Innovate UK or other funding bodies. There should be clear potential for the region to benefit, with a defined route for progression from the SECONDMENT.
Next cohort dates
The next round of SECONDMENT applications is now open, with applications closing on 12 October.
SECONDMENT proposals should be submitted by 12 October. To apply, please complete the proposal form and send it to GW-SHIFT@bath.ac.uk.
