Innovate UK, through the driving the electric revolution challenge, invites applications for its power electronic, machines and drives (PEMD) skills hub call.

If the majority of the organisation’s work on the project is commercial or economic, the funding requested must not exceed up to 70 per cent of eligible project costs. Research organisations undertaking non-economic activity as part of the project can share up to 100 per cent of the total eligible project costs.
