The Diamond Light Source invites proposals for its rapid access to selected beamlines and electron microscope. This provides candidates with quick and urgent access to one of the following beamlines: electron microscope, MX beamlines, 106, 108, I11, I13-1, I13-2, B16, B18, I18, I19, B21, B22 and B23. Applicants from any sector may apply; however, postdoctoral applicants, support scientists, postgraduate and undergraduate students may not act as principal investigators. Users are advised to contact the principal beamline scientist prior to application as some beamlines have restricted amount of rapid access available. In steady state 80 per cent of beamtime is available to external users and 20 per cent beamline for development and in-house research. Industrial users may have up to 10 per cent of the beamtime allocated to external users, with only 30 per cent available per beamtime. |

The EPSRC Manufacturing the Future challenge theme invites investigator-led proposals which address key research challenges facing manufacturing in the UK today. In an effort to increase the theme's long term ambition to increase the number of investigator led research, the theme will issue a series of batching dates during 2018 and 2019 for investigator-led proposals. Submitted proposals will either be considered at a manufacturing-focused prioritisation panel (if there is sufficient demand) or via a separate list at an Engineering panel. The next batching date after this will be 06 July 2018 with a manufacturing panel to be held in October 2018 (if there is sufficient demand). Proposals submitted after these dates, or those that do not have sufficient reviews in time for the panel, will be assessed by the most appropriate panel at a later date. The Manufacturing the Future theme has prioritised funding to support investigator-led research projects in manufacturing, with up to 拢3.2 million available (dependent on demand and quality of proposals). New Investigator Awards as well as standard research proposals are invited. To maintain continuity during the two stage process, fellowship proposals will continue to be assessed at the most appropriate capability theme panel. All proposals will be assessed in accordance with standard EPSRC procedure |
