- The novel characterisation approach to optimise energy absorption materials presented in this research was developed collaboratively between the partner universities and Charles Owen, the UK’s leading equestrian helmet manufacturer. The research was supported by a Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship via the Welsh Government’s European Social Fund, and also benefitted from awards through the US National Football League Head Health Challenge III competition ($250,000) (via Charles Owen - https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2015/12/nfl-under-armour-ge-national-institute-standards-and-technology-nist ), and the HeadHealthTECH Challenge V competition ($116,115, via Cardiff University - (https://www.playsmartplaysafe.com/newsroom/statements/nfl-announces-winner-headhealthtech-challenge-v/). The research has attracted considerable media coverage for its wider societal impact on sport and beyond.
