South East England Development Agency (SEEDA)

Process

Proposals are developed jointly between University and SME and submitted to the secretariat at Portsmouth.

The programme is a pilot for running Business+ projects across the SEEDA region. Universities within the SEEDA region that are not members of the initial consortium can participate as associates. As such associate Universities can propose projects into the consortium that would be co-supervised by the associate and a consortium University.

There are two parts to the assessment. Firstly the consortium score the proposal and then these scores go to an assessment panel. This panel is chaired by SEEDA and comprises a representative from the Enterprise Hubs, Sector Consortia and Knowledge Networks.
