New investment in the next generation of scientists and engineers to boost the UK economy

Forty six outstanding UK researchers have been awarded EPSRC fellowships totaling £38 million to help develop their potential as the next generation of world-leading scientists and engineers.

The fellowships are a direct investment in Britain's most talented individuals to help them tackle some of the biggest challenges of the UK such as climate change and sustainable energy.
Seven EPSRC interview panels met last month and decided to fund thirty new Career Acceleration Fellows and sixteen new Leadership Fellows in a wide range of disciplines in areas from quantum mechanics to robot navigation and from coastal flood protection to fuel cells for electric vehicles.
The competition for fellowships is intense. On average, each year four hundred and fifty applications are received for around twenty five career acceleration fellowship awards. Successful fellows have a strong publication record and are able to demonstrate independence from their supervisors. The new awards bring the total of EPSRC fellows to one hundred and thirty three.
