The Wave Energy Roadmap commissioned through the Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy Hub concludes that targeted research and innovation will play an important role in the Wave Energy journey to commercialisation. As a result, EPSRC is looking to fund proposals, particularly in the key areas highlighted by the roadmap:
novel designs for niche applications
survivability and reliability of devices in the marine environment
power take off and control systems
modelling, forecasting and evaluation of wave energy resource
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) are inviting applications to address the objectives of the new Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) research programme.
This 2018 to 2021 Follow-on Fund is open to all research learning organisation (RLO) principal investigators and co-investigators, both past and present.
The funding opportunity is designed to build on their existing RLO grant and is focused on:
impact enhancement, research augmentation, capacity building
This funding opportunity addresses the lack of coordination between different online collections and catalogues, which constitutes a major barrier to research and public access.
Using new technology, they can be opened up to new cross-disciplinary and cross-collection lines of research and a more diverse visitor base.
You can apply to research the role of heritage in society from different perspectives.
This includes questions such as ‘What role does heritage play in the formation of identities?’, ‘How can institutions manage heritage in an inclusive manner?’ and more.
