EnterprisePlus was a very successful initiative for nearly a decade. Since its launch, we have learnt an incredible amount about ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ needs and challenges of chemistry SMEs and we are now ready to improve it. With changes in ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ external environment and ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ need for alignment with ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ new Royal Society of Chemistry strategy, we believed it was time for a new approach.
EnterprisePlus will not officially end until ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ new initiative is launched. This is expected to be Q1 2023. You will continue to receive relevant communications about funding, news, etc., and of course updates as to ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ exciting new initiative plans.
No, it will have an exciting new identity and name, which will launch in early 2023.
We are pleased to confirm that all internships that have already been formally awarded will be completed and will be funded to ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ agreed value by ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ Royal Society of Chemistry. We won't be accepting any new applications for internship grants.
Whilst internship grants and training vouchers will no longer be available going forward, for individual members of ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ Royal Society of Chemistry ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØre may be oÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØr opportunities to access grants for specific uses.
ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ name will be communicated in due course as part of ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ launch process.
Whilst we no longer formally operate with Engagement Managers you may well recognise many names and faces through your previous interactions on EnterprisePlus. Specific individual responsibilities have evolved, but rest assured ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ experience, knowledge and commitment of ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ Royal Society of Chemistry team is as strong as ever.
Yes, this is ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ plan going forward.
Yes, ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØre are no planned changes to ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ Emerging Technologies Competition and applications will re-open in February 2023. University researchers and earlier stage ventures will continue to gain support and advice from our corporate competition partners and judges, as well as invaluable publicity and media exposure.
No, ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ benefits of belonging to this ecosystem will be different to EnterprisePlus, but we believe of much greater value to you. FurÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØr details will be communicated in ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ next few months.
All training vouchers awarded to date will be funded as agreed by ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ Royal Society of Chemistry. We won't be accepting any new applications for training vouchers.
All discounts for advertisement, Royal Society of Chemistry membership, and job posting will continue to be available until EnterprisePlus is formally closed in Q1 2023.
