The University of Leicester has a long history in space research and has the distinguished record of always having one, or more, of its instruments in space over the last 40 years. The University's Space Research Centre (SRC) was opened in 1998 and is one of the UK's leading research institutes focussed on space-related technologies. The centre has an enviable international reputation collaborating with many of the world's space research agencies. In addition to its proven ability and success in developing space-related technologies the SRC has an established track record in transferring this knowledge into industry and into non-space commercial applications. The UK space sector is thought to be worth close to £5bn annually , employing some 16,000 skilled (over 60% degree qualified) people. The sector is comprised in large part by the, so called, 'downstream' related businesses such as telecommunications. The Space Research Centre (SRC) core activities, resources and trained output are more closely allied with the 'upstream' businesses, covering spacecraft sub-systems, which are estimated to be worth some £725m. Successful transfer of technologies and knowledge from the SRC could therefore have significant economic impact both to UK industry and academia but would also attract increased resources to the SRC enabling further expansion of capacity. Appointment of a PIPSS Fellow focussed on the technology potential within the SRC would dramatically increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs. Main aims: o Increase the amount of technology transfer to industry and other institutes o Market and promote the Space Research Centre and the STFC technology transfer aims o Increase the rate and success of the SRC's technology commercialisation and knowledge transfer outputs.

莱斯特大学在太空研究方面有着悠久的历史，并且在过去 40 年里一直在太空中拥有一台或多台仪器，该大学的太空研究中心 (SRC) 于 1998 年成立，是其中之一。该中心是专注于太空相关技术的英国领先研究机构，除了在开发太空相关技术方面拥有公认的能力和成功外，还与世界上许多太空研究机构合作，享有令人羡慕的国际声誉。 SRC 在将这些知识转化为工业和非太空商业应用方面有着良好的记录，据认为，英国太空行业每年价值接近 50 亿英镑，雇用了约 16,000 名技术人员（超过 60% 具有学位）。空间研究中心 (SRC) 的核心活动、资源和训练有素的产出在很大程度上由所谓的“下游”相关业务（例如电信）与包括航天器在内的“上游”业务紧密结合。因此，SRC 的技术和知识的成功转让可能对英国工业界和学术界产生重大经济影响，但也将为 SRC 吸引更多资源，从而进一步扩大产能。任命一位专注于 SRC 内技术潜力的 PIPSS 研究员将极大地提高 SRC 技术商业化和知识转让产出的速度和成功率。 主要目标： o 增加向行业和其他机构的技术转让量。营销和促进空间研究中心和 STFC 技术转让的目标 o 提高 SRC 技术商业化和知识转让产出的速度和成功率。
