Apply to lead a large scale, interdisciplinary, digital twinning research hub to support both the decarbonisation and improved integration of the transport systems in the UK. This is the second stage of a two-stage process designed to launch a new EPSRC research hub that will tackle key digital twinning research challenges, following a ‘learning by doing’ approach, to support and accelerate the UK transport systems’ transition to zero emissions, improve integration across the systems of transport and support economic growth. The stages are as follows: Stage 1 – Digital Twinning Transport Leader for the decarbonisation and integration of transport systems in the UK Stage 2 – Digital Twinning Research Hub for the Decarbonisation and integration of transport systems in the UK. Up to £19million, plus indexation, is available from us for five years. This grant is expected to start in July 2024.

Carbon Dioxide Reduction & Mitigation; Sustainable Development & Resource Use; Transport Infrastructure Management; Transport Planning

This is an invite only funding opportunity, which is only appropriate for those successful at the first stage of this scheme. You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding. If successful, the team will lead a new research hub which will tackle key digital twinning research challenges, focusing on a transport use case. The research should be transformational and translatable to other sectors.
