Health Innovation Manchester (HInM) is seeking to appoint an ERDF Academic Partnerships Manager to help forge new and exciting collaborations between Small Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and researchers from Greater Manchester universities, NHS organisations and the broader health innovation community. These collaborations will be used to share knowledge, address the barriers to adoption and co-develop proposals for research and development projects. This new and exciting initiative “Research and Innovation Accelerator Programme” is part funded by a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Working closely with the HInM Research, Clinical and Academic Partnerships Directors we are seeking a dynamic and collaborative individual to help deliver the ERDF programme and meet HInM’s ambitious mission particularly through the development, consolidation and support of local, national and international academic partnerships.
