Funding call to establish networks across priority themes of the National Materials Innovation Strategy
UK research organisations can apply to establish a materials-focused network that unites research and industrial stakeholders.
One 'Network Plus' investment is available from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for each of the following themes:
- Materials for energy solutions
- Materials for future healthcare
- Materials for advanced surface technologies
- Materials for next generation electronics, telecommunications and sensors
Each network will partner with Innovate UK Business Connect to accelerate translation and adoption of materials innovations, streamline access to UK capabilities, and enhance integration between industry and academia.
The full economic cost (FEC) of the project can be up to £1.15 million. EPSRC will fund 80% of the FEC.
The closing date for applications is Wednesday 27 May 2026 at 4:00pm BST.
