The Stephen Hawking fellowships will support and develop the next generation of visionary scientists in theoretical physics at the beginning of their career. UKRI are providing funding for five annual calls delivered jointly by EPSRC and STFC.
EPSRC supported engineers have created a low-cost early warning system for communities at risk of landslides.
Professor Simon McIntosh-Smith at the University of Bristol discusses the importance of high performance computing and the UK’s next national research supercomputer – ARCHER2
Antibodies derived from llamas have been shown to neutralise the SARS-CoV-2 virus in lab tests, UK researchers announced today.
The Agriculture sector currently contributes 9% all UK emissions[i]. Emissions range from agricultural soils to field burning of wastes to stationary and mobile combustion[ii] .
We are inviting ambitious proposals for research activities to bridge across the different cyber-security research communities operating under the four joint EPSRC-NCSC Research Institutes. The successful projects will be of a scale to add strategically important capacity and capability to the vibrant ecosystem of cyber security research and practice in the UK.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have built an intelligent mobile robot scientist capable of carrying out its own experiments, which has already discovered a new catalyst.
The Transforming Foundation Industries ISCF Challenge will be investing up to £4.7m in a Research and Innovation Hub which will be delivered by EPSRC on behalf of UKRI. The aim of this Challenge is to enable the foundation industries (made of six separate sectors: metal, glass, ceramics, paper, cement and chemicals) to work together to address their common challenges of competitiveness and sustainability. The Research and Innovation Hub call is a cross-Council opportunity that aims to fund a new cross-sector and multi-disciplinary research centre for the ‘ISCF Transforming Foundation Industries’ programme that will work to accelerate the development and adoption of new technologies and business models within the Foundation Industries.
EPSRC will shortly be inviting proposals for Healthcare Impact Partnerships (HIPs) 2020. This is the sixth call since the scheme was introduced in 2013, with the principal aim of progressing previously funded EPSRC research outputs towards impact within a healthcare application. This call invites proposals that are highly collaborative, partnering with both business and clinicians and which primarily utilise research in Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, ICT and Physical Sciences disciplines for advances in Healthcare.
A new National Research Facility (NRF) which represents a £10 million investment over 5 years from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in lab-based X-ray Computed Tomography, is set to launch in November this year.
The Healthcare Technologies (HT) Theme is looking to support a new suite of networks which address our grand challenges and which will help to shape our future research portfolio. We are inviting proposals for networks where engineering and physical sciences has a pivotal role in addressing new and emerging opportunities to help ensure our future health and well being.
We hope the UKRI publication of diversity results for UKRI funding data last week will prompt discussion in our community. In EPSRC, we have a tradition of exploring data to help understand issues and opportunities in our portfolio and we look forward to sharing more data insights with you over the coming months.
The EPSRC Manufacturing the Future Theme will provide up to £7M (Research Council contribution) to support a portfolio of Precision Manufacturing research projects.
This call is for researchers to apply for computational resource from EPSRC funded High Performance Computing (HPC) services to support research projects from across EPSRC’s remit. It is the successor to the ARCHER RAP and Tier-2 Open access calls which ran prior to 2020. Projects can run for up to one year (service dependent). On average, this call runs twice a year.
The contribution of Research Software Engineers (RSEs) to research outcomes is increasingly recognised within the UK research landscape. Research Software Engineers are key members of computational research teams who provide the critical skills required to develop, support and evolve software to tackle the research challenges they face.
