Impact Gallery
The Impact Gallery presents a mix of exhibits, posters, demonstrations & sponsors. Providing a perfect opportunity to showcase outputs and impact from previously funded IAA projects
Based regionally throughout Scotland, the Interface team supports businesses and communities of all sizes and industrial sectors to scale and grow by matching them to world-leading academic research, knowledge, specialist facilities and talent from across Scotland’s universities, research institutes and colleges.
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) find, fund and support ideas that might benefit Defence and UK National Security.
A world-leading centre for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Its responsible and collaborative approach creates innovative solutions to global challenges.
Lightwater Sensors (University of St.Andrews) The chief areas of impact, which are ongoing, are environmental since pesticide sensing reduces risk of contamination in drinking water and improves waterways; economic by establishing a potential high-growth company with job creation in NE Fife; and scientific by translating state-of-the-art sensor technology into a commercial device of high-value to end-users across global industries.
SolOLED (University of St.Andrews) SolOLED is a spin-out company from the research group of Prof. Eli Zysman-Colman at the University of St Andrews that is focused on developing emitter materials for solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (SP-OLEDs). SolOLED believes that its sustainable and cost-effective emitter materials will drive the bright future for displays and lighting based on solution-processed OLEDs.
If you own, share, or need to know who is using your equipment, ULab was designed for you. ULab catalogues your laboratory equipment, letting you monitor activity using customisable booking and hiring options, both within your institution and with external collaborators/ customers
FASTBLADE™ is the world’s first regenerative structural test facility for tidal blades and will recover 75% of the energy during testing. Funded by the University of Edinburgh and the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, FASTBLADE is capable of testing tidal blades and many other structural systems used in a wide variety of industries including: tidal and wind turbine blades, gantries and bridges, aircraft wingboxes and naval and offshore structures.
5G-Enabled Teleoperation Robot Arm with Haptic Feedback. We will demonstrate the state-of-the-art robotic arm system, where operator can see and control the arm from a distance over 5G network. The instance haptic feedback from robot allows operator to feel what robotic can feel, which opens up lots of emerging applications from industry 4.0 to healthcare. We are working with an online training & assessment company to commercialize the technology in education and training sectors.
SofTMech, based in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Glasgow, is a multidisciplinary group comprising of mathematicians, statisticians and NHS clinicians from multiple centres in Scotland. It is aimed at developing a range of novel multiscale mathematical models and computer-intensive statistical inference techniques applicable to heart diseases, cancer and beyond, including patient-specific medical device optimisation and modelling diseases in the human retina. Over the last several years, the SofTMech team has been awarded a few IAA grants for projects centred around mathematical modelling of the heart, including the recent one on the investigation of cardiac injury in relation to COVID-19, to target mechanism understanding of both the short and long term effects of COVID-19
