Events in Physics
EPSRC invites proposals for collaborative research projects to undertake ambitious multidisciplinary research that will advance the development, deployment and/or management of novel technologies to maximise performance of assets and systems in extreme environments. In particular we are looking for research focusing on the application of remote or autonomous technologies in the challenge areas described in the call. The call aims to bridge the gap between the fundamental development of sensors and related technologies and the application of these in extreme or challenging environments.
Once funding decisions have been made on the research projects, EPSRC plans to support an individual to act as champion for funded projects and the area more widely. The Champion will facilitate collaboration across funded projects as well as engaging users of the research.
This call is jointly funded by the Research Councils UK Energy Theme, the EPSRC Engineering Theme and the Theme and we welcome research in the energy use of sensors as well as the application of this technology in the energy sector. Projects submitted to this call should align to the outcome framework described by the EPSRC Delivery Plan, particularly in the areas of Connectivity, Resilience and Productivity.
The call closes at 16.00 on 02 August 2016. Up to £4-6M is allocated to this call subject to quality and availability of funds, and we expect to fund 3-5 projects for a period of three years.
