We’re delighted to announce six new projects developing community-based diagnostic tools to spot health conditions earlier, and closer to home. This research has the potential for more timely diagnosis, particularly for people who face barriers to accessing specialist care. Each project has been co-designed with patients, carers, and clinicians, focussing on their needs and priorities to ensure that this research really makes a difference to their everyday lives. Our Executive Chair Professor Charlotte Deane said: "Diagnosing health conditions early and in a way that works for people’s everyday lives is vital. These six projects will bring engineering and health expertise together with the experiences of patients and communities to develop practical, real-world tools that support the NHS Long Term Plan. By enabling care closer to home as well as earlier intervention, they will help shift the system from treatment to prevention, improve outcomes, tackle health inequalities, and ease pressure on hospitals."

📢 We are delighted to announce the launch of the IGNITE Network+ Mentoring Programme 2026: Action Learning Circles! We are now recruiting facilitators and circle participants to take part in the IGNITE Network+ Mentoring Programme to support researchers from underrepresented and minoritised groups in energy research. The aim is to support career advancement, facilitate networking and develop a community of researchers in energy, across academia and industry. Participants will have the opportunity to share lived experiences and to support one another. Our innovative approach to mentoring will enable participants to find peers with diverse backgrounds and experiences who share common interests or learning objectives, to focus on the personal development of those involved, to grow and learn together. 🔗 Learn more and express your interest by 31 Oct 2025: https://lnkd.in/dXe9ZtZA 📅 Join our online briefing session on 4 Nov at 14:15PM! #DiverityInEnergy #mentoring #mentoringcircles #actionlearning #ECRs #EnergyResearch #CareerSupport #ResearchCommunity #NetworkingOpportunities #ProfessionalGrowth #PeerMentoring Neha Chandarana Marco Reggiani Jess Woodsford Prof Tanvir Hussain FASM Anna Korre Mustafa F Ozbilgin Energy Futures Lab, Imperial College London University of Nottingham Energy Institute University of Strathclyde Strategic Themes University of Bristol Faculty of Science and Engineering UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) Supergen Energy Networks Hub Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub C-DICE UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) Energy Systems Catapult SUSTAIN Steel Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) Centre for Energy Ethics Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Strathclyde Women's Engineering Society

Delighted to see this new economic impact report published by the Association of Medical Research Charities that highlights the value of non-commercial clinical research. With EPSRC, BBSRC and ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council, we’re proud to support a wide range of clinical research, including for the development of new therapies, medical devices, and diagnostics. We welcome the report’s findings and remain committed to working with partners across the UK, including AMRC, charities, public funders, the NHS and industry, to continue our support.
A new report, commissioned by the AMRC and Wellcome Trust, has found that non-commercial clinical research contributed £72.7bn to the UK economy between 2014 and 2024. The analysis, by Frontier Economics, explores the extensive benefits of non-commercial clinical research, revealing the ‘triple dividend’ it brings to the UK: 🔶 unlocking growth 🔶 supporting the NHS 🔶 improving lives Read more ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3KrW7nf

We're excited to be collaborating with NSF to support eight research projects that will explore how quantum information affects chemical reactions and molecular systems. Jane Nicholson, Executive Director for Research at EPSRC, said: "This joint EPSRC-NSF investment in Quantum Information Science (QIS) in Chemistry represents UKRI commitments towards exploring compelling scientific frontiers and working with our international partners. These programmes will open new pathways for transformative science and the quantum technologies of the generation yet to come. The convergence of disciplines and global collaboration through this investment has the potential to pioneer groundbreaking research at the forefront of this field and further understanding on how chemistry can shape the future of QIS."
The U.S. National Science Foundation is collaborating with UK Research and Innovation to investigate how quantum information affects chemical reactions and molecular systems, a relatively unexplored scientific field. NSF and UKRI's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) are jointly funding eight research projects with the potential to open the door to breakthroughs in quantum computing, ultra-precise navigation and secure communications. "By supporting bold, collaborative science, this partnership lays the foundation for advances that can transform everyday life," said Brian Stone, performing the duties of NSF director. "These projects demonstrate the power of shared investment in tackling real-world challenges, from more powerful computing to next-generation navigation and sensing tools." This collaborative effort will strengthen scientific partnerships between U.S. and U.K. researchers, providing training opportunities for students and early-career scientists. "Through a dynamic partnership, the U.S. National Science Foundation and UKRI are uniting top researchers to unravel the mysteries of quantum in chemical systems," said White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios. "Building upon the president's U.S.-U.K. Technology Prosperity Deal, this visionary partnership will reshape our knowledge of quantum mechanics and open new frontiers in quantum computing, sensing and communicating."
