The UK Space Agency invites applications for the Aurora science programme. This supports science associated with planetary exploration to enhance the UK’s capabilities and cross-disciplinary approach to planetary science. Applications are particularly welcome in: •TGO data exploitation including support for selected TGO interdisciplinary scientist or guest investigators; •preparatory activities for InSight and the ExoMars rover; •activities in support of European Space Agency prospect user group; •underpinning science. Funding may support: fellowships for early-career researchers or for existing academics to discipline-hop; postdoctorate research assistants to support academics on Mars-related science; support for academics to participate in international science teams; project studentships to develop researchers to exploit data sets. Academics and individual scientists, from the UK or overseas, working at a UK research organisations may apply. Funding for postdoctorate research assistants may be available for up to three years, whereas funding for fellowships may be offered for up to three years, but can be held part-time for up to six years. ] |

Innovate UK, supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre, invites applications for collaborative R&D projects, via its SME and supply chain development competition. These aim to support the growth and competitiveness of the low carbon vehicle propulsion sector, and apply the technology on a UK on- or off-road vehicle. Projects must demonstrate the development of propulsion technologies based around one or more of the following technology areas: •internal combustion engines; •lightweight vehicle and powertrain structures; •electric machines and power electronics; •energy storage and energy management; •alternative propulsion systems. Eligible applicants include vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and design or engineering organisations active in the UK low carbon vehicle propulsion sector. Projects must be business-led and collaborative, and include a vehicle manufacturer or a tier 1 or tier 2 supplier as a further SME partner. |
