Intents to Submit

Towards Engineering Grand Challenges - Intents to submit This document contains all intents to submit received for the "Towards Engineering Grand Challenges" call; this step of the process was compulsory but does not bind candidates to apply to the call and does not count towards our repeatedly unsuccessful applicants policy. We expect demand for this call to be high and would encourage applicants to consider working in collaboration where appropriate – this data has been made publically available in order to facilitate this. EPSRC will not be involved in this collaboration building.
