The EPSRC IAA Programme Board (previously ‘Impact Assessment Group’) oversees the delivery of the Engineering and Physical Sciences 69É«Ç鯬 Council (EPSRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) programme at the University of Bath, to ensure we are maximising opportunities for knowledge exchange, innovation and impact, underpinned by a culture of inclusivity and responsible innovation.
