We are inviting ambitious proposals for research activities to bridge across the different cybersecurity research communities operating under the four joint EPSRC-National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Research Institutes.
The successful projects will be of a scale to add strategically important capacity and capability to the vibrant ecosystem of cybersecurity research and practice in the UK.
They will ensure the country’s expertise is working together as a team and being employed to help to solve problems of strategic significance to the UK, that have recently been summarised in the NCSC’s problem book.
This call has been developed in close conjunction with the NCSC. £4 million (at 80% full economic cost) is available to support up to eight projects.
Proposals will be sent to expert postal peer review before being assessed by a prioritisation panel composed of experts from academia, users and government representatives.
Please note that you must read the full call document for guidance before submitting your proposal
