Is my project suitable?

• i-Teams is a flexible methodology which can be adapted for a wide range of projects
• i-Teams generally focus on identifying and assessing real-world applications of a new technology, but we have also worked successfully on other questions
• Our teams have a strong track record of generating new ideas for real-world uses of university inventions and in gaining relevant real-world feedback on those, including identifying detailed (often technical) requirements for those markets and industry contacts

Who can apply to have an i-Team?
For Cambridge i-Teams:

• Anyone working in Cambridge University or any other East of England University, including staff and research students

• Anyone working in a London university or other HEI, including staff and students

How much of my time does it take?

• For the best results, we suggest regular meetings with the team (at least once every 2 weeks), plus answering email questions

Who is in an i-Team?

What do I get?
