Innovation Fund Panel
About the Innovation Fund Panel
The Panel is a small group of staff from M25 Consortium member institutions who work together on a voluntary basis to oversee and manage the Consortium’s Innovation Fund.
The Panel was established by the M25 Consortium Steering Group. It includes an M25 Consortium Trustee and members of the M25 Consortium Steering Group. The Panel’s work is supported by the M25 Consortium Operations Manager and reports to the M25 Consortium Steering Group.
The Panel ensures that awards from the Innovation Fund meet the aims of the Fund and benefit M25 Consortium members and our strategic objectives.
They meet to set up the operational arrangements each year and to consider applications to the Fund. The Panel members score and assess applications against the published criteria and grant Innovation Fund awards to successful applicants.
They also review progress of ongoing funded Projects, with the Delivery Supervisor, Fiona Ainsworth, taking the lead role.
