X-cited

X-disciplinary Challenges from Industry for Technical Expert Development (X-CITED) is an EPSRC-funded programme that will develop the skills of Research Technical Professionals (RTPs), supporting them to work with industrial partners in addressing real-world challenges.

The project will:

• Develop peer networks and Communities of Practice for regional knowledge exchange around key technology specialisms;
• Review RTP training opportunities and develop a unique training platform tailored to the needs of RTPs;
• Create innovative mechanisms to connect industry with RTPs to progress industry challenge projects that deliver real-world impact;
• Establish a Talent Bank of trainee RTPs to foster diverse pathways into technical careers and create capacity for senior RTPs to engage with industry;
• Deliver a robust evaluation of the X-CITED programme to disseminate key outcomes and learning.
