Funding Amounts: 80% of full economic cost for discipline hops lasting 3–24 months; host organisation covers the remaining 20%
Summary: Supports researchers moving between ICT and other disciplines to develop skills, collaborations and interdisciplinary research benefiting the ICT research community.
Key Information: Applicants must be based at an eligible UK research organisation and hop into or from an ICT research area covered by the opportunity.
Description
Run by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), this opportunity supports researchers who want to work across disciplinary boundaries. ICT researchers can use their expertise in a new discipline, while researchers from other fields can learn ICT research skills and apply them in their home discipline. The work may fall anywhere within UKRI’s remit, but must connect to an ICT research area covered by the opportunity and benefit the ICT research community.
A discipline hop can open a new cross-disciplinary research area, answer a specific research question, explore a collaboration’s feasibility, or develop a technique, tool or method for existing research. Activities can include training, collaborative research, commercialisation and knowledge exchange development. EPSRC expects researchers to immerse themselves in the new discipline, for example by moving location or department.
