Deadline: 1-Feb-22
Applications are now open to build a network to enable resilient solutions for future UK systems.
You must:
- be a UK resident
- be based at an eligible research organisation
- have the leadership skills to coordinate a network of interdisciplinary research.
Your project must:
- be at least 50% within EPSRC’s remit
- work closely with stakeholder groups.
Funding Information
- The full economic cost of your project can be up to £2.25 million. ESPRC and DST will fund 80% of the full economic cost.
- They will fund your network for three years.
What are they looking for?
- This NetworkPlus will support a research agenda that addresses security threats and challenges facing us in the future (around 2050) by mobilising a diverse community. It will do this by bringing together existing researchers working on individual elements of this challenge and forming them into a coordinated and coherent whole.
- Additionally, this NetworkPlus will use part of its funding to create new funding opportunities. To build sustained engagement and collaboration, the NetworkPlus will provide leadership across disciplines and sectors and will deliver different activities, such as:
- workshops
- events
- communications
- funding opportunities for pilot and feasibility projects.
Eligibility Criteria
You can apply if you are a resident in the UK and meet at least one of these criteria:
- are employed at the submitting research organisation at a level equivalent to lecturer or above
- hold a fixed-term contract that extends beyond the duration of the proposed project, and the host research organisation is prepared to give you all the support normal for a permanent employee
- hold an EPSRC, Royal Society or Royal Academy of Engineering fellowship aimed at later career stages
- hold fellowships under other schemes.
