The generation and exchange of ideas are two vital components necessary for successful academic research - it is hard to imagine one without the other! While academic management is traditionally organised on research thematic or departmental lines, and this is clearly an efficient way of ensuring effective exchange of ideas within research groups with a common agenda, it often forms a barrier to development of really novel research ideas that may come from 'left field' combinations of quite different disciplines. Even when these potentially ground-breaking complementarities are identified in different research areas, it is often hard to find the initial funding to pump-prime its development, and researchers will tend to fall back to less risky but familar areas of research endeavour.This proposal is to set up the Exeter Science Exchange (ESE), a coherent and directed institutional programme of activities designed to support new and innovative research collaborations across traditional discipline boundaries. These collaborations will link the rapidly expanding research base in Engineering and Physical Sciences research (EPS) with excellent research in both Life and Environmental Sciences (LES) and the humanities, arts and social sciences (HASS) at Exeter. In the same way as a stock exchange is a central, recognised and regulated venue for the trading of company stocks and shares for profit, so the ESE will consist of a central, recognised and organised physical and virtual space for the 'trading of ideas' across the LES - LES - HASS spectrum for intellectual profit and societal impact. The Exchange will enable interdisciplinary groups to co-habit the same real space (on campus) from time-to-time and the same virtual space all the time allowing the creation of shared identities and bringing about a new level of understanding across discipline boundaries. It will also provide a platform for knowledge management and the sharing of best practice.The Exchange will offer four linked strands of activity; the first three (communication, innovation and policy) are aimed at sparking interest and engagement across crucial boundaries areas, and the fourth strand (development) is aimed at providing a mechanism to develop the most promising of these ideas up to a level that they can be supported by more traditional mechanisms (grant applications, joint PhD students). It will provide a forum for ideas trading that will be available to all and has as wide a remit as possible, making connections between topics as diverse as climate modelling and materials science to maritime history and archaeology.Our initial focus will be on fostering collaboration based on institutional Science Strategy topics: Climate change and sustainable futures, systems biology, extrasolar planets and functional materials, however we will encourage engagement of a very wide range of researchers at Exeter, and will aim to develop and widen existing multi-disciplinary research within the University. We aim to draw on the expertise of a wide range of senior academics across the university who will assist in focusing the Exchange towards promising emerging areas, and in evaluating applications for pump-priming funding.

想法的产生和交流是成功的学术研究所需的两个重要组成部分 - 很难想象一个没有另一个重要组成部分！尽管传统上是在研究主题或部门线上组织的学术管理，但这显然是确保具有共同议程的研究小组中有效交流思想的一种有效方式，但它通常构成了开发真正新颖的研究思想的障碍，这些研究思想可能来自“左领域”的组合，这些组合完全不同。即使在不同的研究领域确定了这些潜在的突破性互补性，通常也很难找到最初的资金来促进其发展的发展，研究人员将倾向于回到较少的风险，但研究工作的著名领域。这项建议是为了建立埃克塞特科学交换（ESE），一项跨越的活动，以支持新的研究和新的研究。这些合作将将工程和物理科学研究（EPS）的快速扩展研究基础与在埃克塞特的生活和环境科学（LES）以及人文，艺术和社会科学（HASS）的出色研究联系起来。以与证券交易所相同的方式，是一个中央，公认和受监管的公司股票和股票交易的场所，因此，ESE将由中央，公认的和有组织的物理和虚拟空间组成，用于跨LES -LES -LES- HASS -HASS -SPECTRUM -HASS Spectrum -Hass Spectrum -Hass Spectrum for Incelival Profit和Societal Impact。该交流将使跨学科的团体能够不时地共同占据相同的真实空间（在校园内）和相同的虚拟空间，从而允许创建共享的身份，并在跨学科边界中建立新的理解水平。它还将为知识管理和最佳实践共享提供一个平台。交易所将提供四个链接的活动；前三个（沟通，创新和政策）旨在激发至关重要的边界领域的利益和参与，而第四链（开发）旨在提供一种机制，以将这些思想最有希望的最有希望的人提高到可以得到更传统的机制（赠款应用程序，联合PHD学生）所支持的水平。 It will provide a forum for ideas trading that will be available to all and has as wide a remit as possible, making connections between topics as diverse as climate modelling and materials science to maritime history and archaeology.Our initial focus will be on fostering collaboration based on institutional Science Strategy topics: Climate change and sustainable futures, systems biology, extrasolar planets and functional materials, however we will encourage engagement of a very wide range of researchers at Exeter, and will aim to在大学内开发并扩大了现有的多学科研究。我们旨在利用全大学的众多高级学者的专业知识，他们将协助将交流集中在有前途的新兴地区，并评估泵送资金的申请。
