Current Support Biro-net – an EPSRC Network WGW ’02 - EPSRC/BBSRC International Workshop Biologically-Inspired Robotics: The Legacy of W. Grey Walter SAB ’02 – student bursaries and financial support AISB'03 Convention Cognition in Machines and Animals Research grants totalling around £2.8M (data from EPSRC grants on the web using bio and robot*)

Diversity of funding… Responsive mode in EPSRC Programmes –ICT –Engineering –plus LSI Adventure Fund (or replacement) Basic Technology Research Programme BBSRC –AIBACS signpost Watch out for new opportunities –EPSRC partnerships with BAe Systems and other companies

Create your own opportunities Influence the policy makers –EPSRC Strategy Advisory Teams (membership on website) –Reviewing proposals and participating in panels –EPSRC Strategic Priorities and Opportunities document –EPSRC scoping workshops –Future spending review bids (new money!)
