The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council invites proposals for its future photonics hub innovation fund. This supports short research projects that enable the development of next-generation photonics manufacturing processes to provide lower-cost, higher-performing integrated sensors, lasers and sub-systems. The core research themes of the hub are the following: •high-performance silica optical fibres; •light generation and delivery; •silicon photonics; •large-scale manufacture of metamaterials and 2D materials. Academics are eligible to apply. Industry are encouraged to participate as project partners to demonstrate a pathway to manufacturing and exploitation. The budget is worth up to £200,000 at 80 per cent full economic costing, to support one or more proposals for a duration of between one month and several years. Multi-year funding is subject to review |
