The PIPSS Knowledge Transfer Scheme

PIPSS is a knowledge transfer scheme that supports the development of effective, long term collaborations between UK Universities, CERN, ESO (European Southern Observatory), ESA (European Space Agency), UK industry and research sector organisations, with the aim to:

Promote co-ordinated technology development within the Council programme and with other partners;
Encourage researchers to be aware of the possibilities for exploitation;
Raise awareness in industry and other research sectors of the technological strengths and opportunities afforded by the Council’s science;
Encourage collaboration between UK companies and the research community;

This will ensure the maximum benefit to UK industry, through transfer of technologies and skills developed from the Council’s research programme to broader market areas. Also encouraging a two-way transfer of skills and knowledge between the Council’s supported scientists and researchers in UK industry and research organisations representing other sectors.

The overall objective of PIPSS is to facilitate the transfer of technology developed in pursuit of the Council’s science programme. In other words, to transfer Science and Technology Facilities Council developed technologies to other academic disciplines and/or industrial applications.
