UK Research and Innovation is inviting expressions of interest to identify the next wave of challenges to be supported under the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF). ISCF funding comes from UK Research and Innovation, business and the public sector working in partnership.
The aim of this open expression of interest (EoI) is to identify the main challenges faced by industry and society in the UK. We want to understand the level of demand for innovation funding in order to address them.
Your proposal must identify the challenge and explain what the impact would be if it were solved. Provide evidence of strong industry demand for funding and identify what market opportunities a solution would create.
Explain what is preventing this challenge from being solved and why UK companies and research organisations are well-placed to tackle it.
This EoI is not a competition for funding in itself but a way for you to identify the main challenges for your industry. These challenges may then be addressed by ISCF.
