The Royal Academy of Engineering invites applications for its research chairs and senior research fellowships scheme. This aims to strengthen the links between industry and academia by supporting academics in conducting use-inspired research that meets the needs of industrial partners. Research may be conducted in any area of engineering. Awardees are expected to: •establish or enhance a world-leading engineering research group; •deliver use-inspired research that meets the needs of their industrial partners; •disseminate the outcomes of their research for appropriate academic impact; •become a self-sustaining research group by the end of the award by securing substantial external grant income. In this round, the Academy’s contribution will be capped at a maximum of £45,000 per annum which equates to a total of £225,000 over five years.
