iXscient was established in 2003 by a team of individuals who each have over 25 years of experience in performing and commercialising R&D including:

• Managing departments within a commercial R&D organisation
• Managing major R&D programmes
• Developing and licensing our own innovations
• Participating in the development and licensing of outside technology
• Initiating and managing start-ups
• Playing a major role in technology company flotation

Our technological experience covers areas as diverse as microsystems and microfluidics for pharmaceutical and biodiagnostic applications, biometric systems, sensors, data mining software, materials, radar systems and communications.

We have an excellent track record in writing successful proposals in a very competitive environment:

In large FP6/7 Integrated(ing) Projects, our success rate is 80% (4 out of 5)
In small FP6/7 "STREP" Projects, our success rate has been 33% (5 out of 14)
In large UK Research Council Grants, we have a 100% success rate (2 out of 2)

For more details, look at some of our case studies or Project Management activities.
