Description

EPSRC is inviting new ideas to address Tomorrow’s Engineering Research Challenges (TERC) by supporting diverse teams from across disciplines to forge new research capabilities.

Each Network Plus must have ‘engineering at the heart’ and imaginatively use the plus element to develop insights and approaches to address relevant challenges within the TERC report while ensuring a level of interoperability and integration across the different levels of challenges.

You must be at a UK research organisation to be eligible for EPSRC funding. EPSRC will fund 80% of full economic costs up to £1.75 million for up to three years.
