Research project
Planning the research project
The research project forms the basis of a proposal and has to be relevant to present day needs in industry and academia. The candidate is expected to take the initiative in finding a suitable host university or research laboratory, and a supervisor who will accept responsibility for guiding the Fellow's research and re-training.
The research project must be timely, sufficiently challenging but achievable within the available timescale and Fellow's intellectual starting point. The project should be seen as an opportunity to acquire professional skills and knowledge that will make the Fellow more employable in the future.
