Description
This opportunity supports a wide range of research in engineering and physical sciences, from small feasibility studies to large, multi-million-pound projects. The scheme is open to all research areas within the EPSRC remit—including artificial intelligence, digital security, energy, engineering, healthcare technologies, ICT, manufacturing, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, and quantum technologies. Projects advancing critical technologies (AI, engineering biology, future telecommunications, semiconductors, quantum) are particularly encouraged.
Applications are assessed on scientific quality, novelty, timeliness, and potential impact (societal, economic, or environmental). There are no restrictions on project length or value; researchers should request what is needed to deliver the proposed programme.
