About EPSRC

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the main funding body for engineering and physical sciences research in the UK. Our diverse portfolio ranges from digital technologies to clean energy, manufacturing to mathematics, healthcare technologies to chemistry.

We partner with universities, business, research organisations and other investors to amplify and accelerate the impact of research and innovation in the UK.

By curating a diverse portfolio of new ideas, we enable transformative discoveries that advance knowledge across disciplines. We drive outcomes that underpin economic growth by supporting technologies along the innovation pathway from discovery to application. Through translating research into outcomes that address national and global challenges, EPSRC deliver tangible benefits to society and improving lives.
