University Of Manchester: Applications Open For Graphene Enterprise Award 2025

Applications for the Graphene Enterprise Award 2025 are invited from postdoctoral researchers, recent graduates, and students of the University of Manchester. This award will help them to establish new companies involving graphene or other 2D materials. The last date to apply for the applications is February 10, 2025.

Study in UK: The University Of Manchester has announced that now postdoctoral researchers, recent graduates, and students of the university can apply for the Eli and Britt Harari Graphene Enterprise Award 2025. The selected candidates will get help in establishing their new companies.

"Applications will be evaluated based on the strength of their commercial proposition to establish a new business revolving around graphene-related technologies. Two significant prizes, one of £50,000 and another of £20,000, will be granted to the individuals or cohesive teams who can compellingly demonstrate how their innovative technology, pertaining to graphene or other 2D materials, could be applied to create a viable and profitable commercial opportunity," reads the statement of the University of Manchester.

Interested students need to submit a pitch deck in stage 1 in the form of PPT/PDF. In the next stage, the selected students will be shortlisted for the final round. Those who are currently students of the university and those who graduated in the last two years can apply.

University Of Manchester Researcher Participates In Study On Social Media, Smartphone Impact On Children

The project is led by the team from the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester’s Dr Margarita Panayiotou is also participating in this to understand the relationship between smartphone use and children's well-being.

“There is huge concern about the impact of smartphone use on children's health, but the evidence base remains fairly limited. Our focus will be on deepening our causal understanding of the effects of new technologies, particularly over short timescales, to ensure that decisions are informed, timely and evidence-based," said project lead Dr Amy Orben.

"Identifying the potential causal links between technology and young people’s development and well-being is a crucial step forward to better understand this complex relationship and provide policymakers with more informed, targeted, and evidence-based insights. This project provides a unique opportunity for us to do so," said Dr Margarita Panayiotou.
