Nanotechnology grand challenges: solutions for the environment

Carbon Capture and Utilisation

This call invites proposals for large-scale interdisciplinary, integrated projects to provide nanotechnology solutions for the environment. Specifically we are seeking proposals that address the contribution which nanotechnology can make to Carbon Capture and Utilisation. Applications addressing carbon utilisation or capture from the free atmosphere are particularly encouraged.

Funding in these areas will be provided through a two stage process. This call is for the first stage only. Subject to the quality of the proposals received, up to £5 million is available for this call, which is expected to support 3 to 4 projects. Additional funding from ESRC will be available for high quality social science research that is embedded in the projects.

Submitting your proposal

Please refer to the Je-S Help for details on preparing and submitting an application to the scheme. EPSRC will only accept applications through the Joint electronic submission (Je-S) system.
