About the EPSRC IAA

Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAAs) allow universities to respond to opportunities in flexible, responsive and creative ways that align with their institutional strategies and opportunities. Responsibility for management of IAAs is devolved to individual institutions, allowing them to operate tailored schemes to facilitate the realisation of impact. They are intended to add value to existing funding and take advantage of new or unforeseen opportunities. IAAs are one of the primary funding mechanisms for supporting knowledge exchange, innovation and impact at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

EPSRC has awarded the University of Glasgow a £3.19m Impact Acceleration Account for the period from April 2022 to March 2025 as part of UKRI's harmonised IAA programme. This harmonised IAA programme encompasses IAA funding across all four Colleges of the University and includes AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, MRC, and STFC IAAs. The EPSRC and STFC IAAs at the University of Glasgow are managed and delivered by the College of Science and Engineering.
