Description
This opportunity supports UK-based researchers at eligible institutions to collaborate internationally through EPSRC’s lead agency agreements, specifically with partners in Ireland, Luxembourg, Brazil, Germany, and the US. The scheme aims to streamline international collaboration by allowing joint applications, single lead agency peer review, and coordinated funding decisions. Projects must focus on high-quality, discovery-led research within the EPSRC remit, including but not limited to AI, digital security, energy, engineering, healthcare technologies, ICT, manufacturing, mathematical and physical sciences, and quantum technologies. The program is designed to maximize the value of international partnerships and reduce administrative barriers to cross-border research.
