Innovate UK is investing up to £4 million in collaborative R&D projects that can lead to better whole-life performance of buildings.
The aim is to maximise the long-term contribution of buildings to the economy, society and the environment. This is in line with Construction 2025, the joint strategy by government and industry for the future of UK construction.
If you are working in construction or any other sector your business could win grant funding to develop products, processes and services through this competition. Proposals must be collaborative and led by a business. We expect total project costs to range from £150,000 to £800,000.
This is a two-stage competition that opens for applicants on 23 February 2015. The deadline for registration is at noon on 1 April 2015.
There will be a briefing for potential applicants during the Resource event at ExCel, London, on 4 March 2015.
This competition is co-funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council
