The Bionics+ NetworkPlus will represent the spectrum of research, clinical and industrial communities across bionic technologies within the EPSRC Grand Challenge theme of Frontiers of Physical Intervention. It will invigorate and support a cohesive, open and active network with the mission of creating a mutually supportive environment. It will lead to the co-creation of user-centred bionic solutions that are fit for purpose. These advances will have a global impact, consolidating the world-leading position of the UK. The founding tranche will focus on ambitious and transformative research, new collaborative and translational activities, and the formulation of a longer-term strategy. Within this context, as a community, we will explore and identify areas of opportunity and value, driven by Bionics users' needs, complementary to existing activity and strengths. The network will instigate and support early-stage research in these priority areas, alongside providing an outward-facing representation and engagement of the UK Bionics community. Further, we aim to contribute in an advisory capacity to public bodies, UK industry and government policy. At the time of the application, we have obtained a positive commitment from circa 70 groups including bionic users, academic partners from universities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and a few international partners; partners in medical devices, orthotics and prosthetics industry, both large corporates and small-medium size companies; and many clinicians, surgeons and aligned health experts from relevant NHS clinics and the private sector.

Bionics+ NetworkPlus将代表EPSRC大挑战率主题的仿生技术的研究，临床和工业社区的范围。它将激发和支持一个凝聚力，开放和主动的网络，其使命是创建一个相互支持的环境。它将导致适合目的的以用户为中心的仿生解决方案的共同创建。这些进步将产生全球影响，巩固英国的世界领先地位。创始批次将集中于雄心勃勃的变革性研究，新的合作和翻译活动以及长期战略的制定。在这种情况下，作为一个社区，我们将探索和确定在仿生用户需求以及对现有活动和优势的补充的驱动的驱动的机会和价值领域。该网络将在这些优先领域促进和支持早期研究，并提供英国仿生学社区的外在代表和参与。此外，我们的目标是为公共机构，英国工业和政府政策做出咨询能力。在申请时，我们从大约70个小组中获得了积极的承诺，包括仿生用户，来自英格兰，苏格兰，苏格兰，威尔士和北爱尔兰大学的学术合作伙伴以及一些国际合作伙伴；大型企业和中小型公司的医疗设备，矫形和假肢行业的合作伙伴；以及许多来自相关的NHS诊所和私营部门的临床医生，外科医生和对齐健康专家。
