Description
This opportunity from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is designed to support researchers who wish to engage in "discipline hopping"—applying their expertise in information and communication technologies (ICT) to other fields, or bringing knowledge from other disciplines into ICT. The program aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations, enable researchers to acquire new methodologies, and contribute to the advancement of ICT research and its application in new domains.
Projects may involve moving into a new research environment, learning new techniques, or exploring the feasibility of cross-disciplinary partnerships. Proposals should clearly articulate the anticipated benefits to both the applicant’s research trajectory and the broader ICT community.
