Challenge Led Applied Systems

The STFC is adopting a new challenge-led approach to maximize Knowledge Exchange (KE) which will identify novel uses of existing skills and technologies. The concept of developing technology demonstrators and industry-ready prototype systems is at the heart of this scheme and is aimed at de-risking the R&D process for industry.

The pilot call for this scheme is now closed, although further details can be found here.

Building on the success of the pilot call a new panel and funding scheme have been set up. Watch out for new calls in the funding scheme, called Challenge Led Applied Systems (CLASP) at.
