investigated; the research base on which it builds; its current stage of development; and current
barriers to its exploitation / application.
Please provide link to existing publications or other outputs in Enlighten that evidence the
underpinning research. The KE Fund supports the exploitation of research beyond academia and
does not cover costs for new research.
