The 1851 Commission offers about eight Industrial Fellowships each year for selected graduates, working in British industry, who have a good first degree in engineering, science, or medicine. Applicants must have identified a research and/or development topic, leading to a patent, product, or process in conjunction with a higher academic award; have an established link with appropriate staff at a British university; and normally be within five years of graduation. The aim of the scheme is to encourage profitable innovation and creativity in British industry.
