The university is limited to three submissions at outline stage and is therefore running an internal selection process. Please discuss any applications with David Leadley in advance of 4th March 2019

The Alan Turing Institute, UK Research and Innovation and the Office for AI invite applications for their AI fellowships. These encourage world-leading AI researchers to build and consolidate significant research activity and profile within the UK and accelerate the careers of mid-career AI researchers enabling them to grow their profile both nationally and internationally, build their research teams and extend their research collaborations. The initiative covers a broad view of AI, including applications of foundational disciplines across mathematical sciences, statistical sciences, computational sciences and engineering. Fellows are expected to collaborate as appropriate across disciplines to ensure positive outcomes for UK society. Consideration may also be given to AI work that interfaces with the life sciences, social sciences or humanities. The objectives are to:

•build UK leadership capacity and capability in AI research by attracting, retaining and developing world-leading AI research talent in the UK;

•accelerate the delivery of impact from UK AI research through the facilitation of effective collaboration between leading AI researchers and both industrial colleagues and researchers in other disciplines;

•invest in leading researchers who will become effective leaders in the AI landscape and advocates of AI research through active engagement with policy-makers and the public.

The following types of awards are available: Turing senior AI fellowships are prestigious appointments for existing leaders in the field and applicants should already be demonstrating leadership equivalent to a full professorial position; Turing AI fellowships are aimed at established mid-career researchers with recognised leadership potential.

Fellows must be hosted by a UK HEI, independent research organisation, NHS body and other research institute. They may collaborate with partners from industry, the public sector or the charitable sector.

The total budget is up to £8.5 million, to fund three to five fellowships for up to five years. The fellowship covers salary, research costs and other related activities.

Dear All

Please find below an email sent on behalf of PVC (Research) Professor Pam Thomas and Chair of Faculty of Science, Professor Mike Shipman

regarding EPSRC IAA Funding.

The relevant application form is attached.

Please can you let Steve Dixon (Physics Impact Champion) and /or myself (Physics Impact Officer) know, in the first if you are interested in submitting an application.

There is series of deadlines throughout this year and next, with the first being Monday July 2^nd 2018

In the case of over-subscription priority will be given to those with a potential impact case study moving in a positive direction.

Dear All,

Re: EPSRC IAA – Invitation for applications

The University’s EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account has been awarded to support innovative impact generation arising out of the institutional EPSRC portfolio.

There is circa £500k of funding to commit and spend by 31 March 2020, for activities that fall within the following categories:

• Innovation & impact projects, particularly those that are strong contenders for REF2021 and future REFs;

• Secondment & exchange schemes, to support two-way knowledge exchange with companies and public organisations;

• Impact Fellowships, to support researchers with the time required to support knowledge transfer, business engagement & commercialisation activities, preferably for areas that are strong contenders for REF2021 and future REFs;

• Industry Engagement Days;

• Training, to further embed impact skills across the departments and Faculty.

Academic colleagues are now invited to submit applications into one or more of the categories listed, by completing the attached application form. Completed forms should be submitted via the appropriate HoD, and with your statement of support completed please, to Research.Impact@warwick.ac.uk 

There will be rolling programme of application deadlines, until such point as the programme is fully committed, as follows:

• Monday 02 July 2018

• Monday 03 September 2018

• Monday 05 November 2018
