Stephen Kemp PROGRAMME GRANTS ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES RESEARCH COUNCIL

The main UK government agency for funding research and training in engineering and the physical sciences investing around £800 million per year

Excellence with Impact Source: Science and Innovation Investment Framework : Annual Report 2007

How to increase performance? EPSRC Council advocate that larger, longer term funding has led to greater creativity, impact and excellence in the research base Source: EPSRC Citations Study, Oct 2009
