You can apply for a discipline-hopping in ICT grant in any field of research relevant to the UKRI remit. In order to be eligible to apply for funding through this funding opportunity, you must be ‘hopping’ into or from one of the ICT research areas covered by this funding opportunity. You must show how you will use interdisciplinary research and collaborative development to benefit the ICT research community. You could carry out a discipline hop to: gain skills and knowledge to open up a new cross-disciplinary research area or answer a specific cross-disciplinary research question explore the feasibility of working with other disciplines on a project learn a new technique, tool or method that you can apply to your own research.
