ACTION is a 9-month programme for staff and student researchers to develop their entrepreneurial skills and develop solutions to real societal challenges. During the ACTION programme, postgraduate research students and research staff engage within interdisciplinary teams to create a commercial product or service. The training element consists of a two-day residential followed by a series of 1-day workshops. At the public showcase teams display their commercial solution to the posed challenge and are judged on their ability to engage the audience with their idea and interact with the public.
This event was part of the British Science Festival in Newcastle 7-12 September 2013.
