- The partner universities and Charles Owen, the UK’s leading equestrian helmet manufacturer, collaboratively developed a novel pathway to optimise energy absorption materials. This work was facilitated by a Royal Society Newton International Exchange award, and a Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship via the Welsh Government’s European Social Fund. The research also benefited 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/ ).
This research attracted considerable media coverage for its wider societal impact on sport community and beyond.
