The Manufacturing the Future Theme is looking to invest in highly adventurous manufacturing research to address the research visions of the theme:

• 21st Century Products
• Digital Manufacturing
• Sustainable Industries
• New Industrial Systems.

These visions cover the entire manufacturing spectrum, including simulation, design, production, fabrication, systems and services leading to successful processes and products. This call is aimed at academics already working in these areas as well as those currently working at the interface between underpinning science and manufacturing who want to move their work into the manufacturing domain.

The vision for the Manufacturing the Future theme is for the research we sponsor to help solve some of the most serious challenges facing the UK today and in the future. Manufacturing makes a major contribution to the UK economy but further investment is required, particularly in high-value and specialist manufacturing, underpinned by the research base. Our aim is to create and capture the benefits of research for UK manufacturing industries, thereby supporting UK productivity and prosperity.

This initiative will look to support a portfolio of exceptional and potentially transformative science and engineering research projects that have the potential to contribute to the manufacturing research visions.

A high degree of risk in these applications is expected and welcomed to encourage speculative ideas or new ways of thinking.

Applicants must complete the Intent to Submit form below by 16.00 on 25 October 2018, before submitting outline proposals by 16.00 on 04 December 2018.
