Before you come to your meeting please prepare by thinking about:
- what is your research idea?
- what do you think the benefit is to defence and security? will it save time/costs, improve capability/performance/reliability? why should MOD or the Security Agencies invest in this work?
- what will your approach be? how will you structure your research?
- what will you deliver? what evidence will you produce?
- what will the impact of your research be? how will you demonstrate progress towards the claimed benefit?
The main purpose of this meeting is for you to ask questions, and most importantly, receive advice from the team, so please leave time for this during your session.
Spaces will be on a first-come, first-served basis and an organisation should only register once.
