EPSRC discipline hopping in ICT, Nov 2023: responsive mode

Open UKRI funding opportunity · Grant. Open with no closing date. Opportunity page: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/epsrc-discipline-hopping-in-ict-nov-2023-responsive-mode/

Discipline hopping in ICT grants are for researchers based at an eligible UK research organisation.

You may either:

- have a background in ICT and propose to use your research skills in a new discipline

- have other expertise and wish to learn ICT research skills and apply them in your home discipline

You must be ‘hopping’ into or from one of the ICT research areas covered by this funding opportunity.

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) will award 80% of the full economic cost (FEC) of the project.

For information on our new approach to EPSRC responsive mode opportunities that opened in November 2023, please see our transition web pages.

What we're looking for Aim

This is an opportunity for ICT researchers to use their expertise in other disciplines, or for researchers from other fields to apply their expertise to ICT. You can apply for a discipline-hopping in ICT grant in any field of research relevant to the UKRI remit.

In order to be eligible to apply for funding through this funding opportunity, you must be ‘hopping’ into or from one of the ICT research areas covered by this funding opportunity.

You should have a proven track record of research in your home discipline and demonstrate how you would develop skills and collaborations with other disciplines or users.

You must show how you will use interdisciplinary research and collaborative development to benefit the ICT research community.

You could carry out a discipline hop to:

- gain skills and knowledge to open up a new cross-disciplinary research area or answer a specific cross-disciplinary research question

- explore the feasibility of working with other disciplines on a project

- learn a new technique, tool or method that you can apply to your own research
