The benefits
• Freedom to concentrate on basic research in any field of engineering.
• Time to establish a track record in the field.
• The services of a mentor (a Fellow of The Academy) to offer advice and to facilitate industrial links as the research progresses.
• Restrictions of your teaching and administrative duties.

Amazing Fellowship!
Start writing early – it takes longer than you think.
A good mentor makes a massive difference.
Use it to your advantage.
GOOD LUCK
