EMBRACE
EMBRACE is a collaborative partnership between The University of Nottingham, University of Leicester and British Geological Survey (BGS). University of Leicester is the lead partner hosting the Satellite Applications Centre of Excellence on behalf of the consortium. The overall aim of the EMBRACE is to align the resource, expertise and track record to build a significant Satellite Applications Catapult activity in the East Midlands linked to the Harwell Centre. This will be achieved through:
• LINKING business with academic R&D capabilities in the region
• BUILDING multi-skilled partnerships to solve market needs
• BOOSTING economic growth through the development and commercialisation of satellite applications
