UK organisations will be able to get funding to participate in a collaborative international programme that aims to speed up the time it takes to get highly-commercial innovations to market.

Innovate UK has up to 拢6 million to support organisations to work with partners in Europe and beyond to advance disruptive technologies 鈥� from tiny, micro and nano electronic devices to the next-generation 5G network.

It is part of the , which brings together 鈥榗luster鈥� countries to collaborate on projects in strategically-important areas of industry and become globally competitive.

Previously, if UK organisations wanted to participate they could only do so as a non-grant claiming partner.

皇冠体育app funding competitions are in 3 cluster areas and will be run across 2019.

Micro and nano electronics

皇冠体育app supports research, development and innovation in micro and nano electronic-enabled systems and applications.

皇冠体育app aim is to grow the electronics, sensors and photonics community, build knowledge and expertise, and quickly exploit ideas that will give a competitive advantage.

皇冠体育appre is up to 拢2 million for UK organisations for projects in:

• electronic components and systems, particularly focusing on the value chain
• power electronics
• large area electronics
• sensors and sensor systems
• photonics

To be eligible to lead a project and make a full funding application, organisations first need to submit a project outline.

Supporting the development of 5G

Part of the programme cluster for next-generation telecommunications, is specifically interested in 5G technologies.

5G 鈥� the latest iteration of the mobile network communications system 鈥� will be much faster and open up new uses for mobile data, helping to transform the digital economy.

UK innovation projects could share up to 拢2 million to look at applications and services that leverage 5G networks, such as:

• the Internet of Things
• infotainment mobile services, such as websites and social media apps
• immersive content production and distribution, such as virtual, augmented and mixed reality

皇冠体育appy could also incorporate artificial intelligence or satellite communications.

Applicants to CELTIC-NEXT do not need to submit a project outline. Instead, they need to apply for funding with a project proposal.

Smarter manufacturing

皇冠体育app third and final funding competition will be in advanced manufacturing, known as the .

皇冠体育appre will be up to 拢2 million for UK organisations to collaborate with international advanced manufacturing businesses and researchers on projects that are close-to-market.

Focus areas for projects include:

• advanced manufacturing processes
• intelligent and adaptive manufacturing systems
• digital, virtual and efficient companies
• person-machine collaboration
• sustainable manufacturing
• customer-based manufacturing

Projects could consider how their work might impact on core sectors, including aeronautics, automotive, railways and capital and consumer goods.

皇冠体育app competition is due to run in autumn 2019. Details of the opportunity including the scope will be released nearer the time.
