Call in Graphene Engineering
EPSRC aim to invite proposals for innovative research programmes focused on developing applications and manufacturing processes linked to graphene.
This call will also aim to accelerate the generation of novel devices, technologies and systems and expand the UK's capability in graphene research.
Date of call: Early 2012 | Contact: Andrew Lawrence
TSB Call - Sustainable Manufacturing for the Process Industry
The Technology Strategy Board is to invest up to £5m in feasibility projects and collaborative research and development to encourage the development and commercialisation of innovative approaches to sustainable manufacturing in the process industry. EPSRC has expressed interest in supporting this competition and will contribute up to a total of £1m to projects.
Date of call: February 2012 | Contact: competitions@innovateuk.org
TSB Call - Highly innovative technology enablers for aerospace
The Technology Strategy Board is to invest up to £5m in collaborative research and development that encourages innovative solutions to some of the higher-risk challenges facing the UK aerospace industry. Up to a further £1m may be available from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for projects with a significant, high-quality academic research component.

April - June 2012
EPSRC Fellowships in Manufacturing
Following our Pilot call in EPSRC Fellowships in Manufacturing last year, we will be launching a second call for EPSRC Fellowships in Manufacturing in early Spring 2012.
The aim of this call is to support a number EPSRC Fellowships in Manufacturing who have the potential to be future research leaders in their field in Manufacturing Research, supporting either academics who have recently (within the last three years) moved from industry, or people in industry, currently involved in innovation, looking to move into academia.
The aim is to offer up to five years of support for suitable candidates who not only have an appropriate background but can also articulate their vision for utilising their industrial experience to inform their future research direction.
Date of call: Spring 2012 | Contact: Jim Fleming
EPSRC ICT Theme Working Together Call
EPSRC's ICT Theme sees working together across the ICT research landscape and with other disciplines as a priority. A significant call intended to support 'Working Together' will be issued in early May 2012.
An event to publicise and scope this call is being held on Wednesday 21 March 2012 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Birmingham. Please contact events@epsrc.ac.uk to register your interest in attending this event.
Date of call: Early May 2012 | Contact: Alex Hulkes
Call in Many-core Architectures and Concurrency in Distributed and Embedded Systems
The EPSRC ICT Theme has identified the area of many-core architectures and concurrency in distributed and embedded systems as a priority. On 20th March 2012, a workshop will be held to explore the challenges which lie underneath this priority and the different approaches taken by research areas across the ICT portfolio. The outcomes of this workshop will form the basis of a significant call.
Date of call: June 2012 | Contact: Christina Turner
