Call summary
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) invites applications for its early technology development of basic technologies call. This supports early technology development of basic technologies that will have an impact on UK science, society and the environment. The early technology development includes transformative technologies, including quantum, artificial intelligence, digital twinning, engineering biology, and basic technologies, which should be seen as the earliest stage of the emerging technologies pipeline. The total budget is £2 million. The full economic cost of the project may be up to £381,250 for equipment and technology development and up to £5,000 for commissioning-related activities. STFC will fund up to 80 per cent of the full economic costs.
Scientific scope
Nuclear Physics; Universe Sciences; Particle Physics; High Energy Astrophysics & Cosmic Rays; Galactic Astronomy; Synchrotrons & Accelerators
PI eligibility
Proposed activities must include a principal investigator from either an STFC-funded department at an eligible research organisation or an STFC laboratory or facility. The PI must be named on a grant that is currently active and funded by the STFC core science programme which includes nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, particle astrophysics, space science, accelerator science, and computing in support of these, or STFC core programme research conducted at the STFC facilities, CERN, European Southern Observatory or European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Only academic partners may request funding.
