Call summary
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, via the Manufacturing the Future theme, invites outline proposals for its precision manufacturing outline call. This supports novel research into technologies and platforms required to enable high nanoscale-precision manufacturing at scale. The total budget is £7 million to support a portfolio of research projects.
Scientific scope
The call aims to give new and improved functionality to materials across a broad spectrum of research disciplines and make existing technologies manufacturable. Proposals are expected to conform to the remit of the EPSRC Manufacturing the Future theme by focusing on fundamental research into the manufacturing technologies, the manufacturing process and its design and operation.
PI eligibility
The principal investigator must be resident in the UK and an academic employee at the lecturer or equivalent level at an eligible organisation, which may be a higher education institution, a research institute funded by a research council or an independent research organisation
