Objective:

The Innovative Training Networks (ITN) aim to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit.

ITN will raise excellence and structure research and doctoral training in Europe, extending the traditional academic research training setting, incorporating elements of Open Science and equipping researchers with the right combination of research-related and transferable competences. It will provide enhanced career perspectives in both the academic and non-academic sectors through international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility combined with an innovation-oriented mind-set.
Scope:

ITN supports competitively selected joint research training and/or doctoral programmes, implemented by partnerships of universities, research institutions, research infrastructures, businesses, SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and beyond.

Partnerships take the form of collaborative European Training Networks (ETN), European Industrial Doctorates (EID) or European Joint Doctorates (EJD).

There is a further call later in the year...

Please note: there is an "intent to submit" stage to this call, which must be submitted via the online form on this call page by 16:00 on 15 January 2019.
This is the first of two calls for proposals from a UKRI Physics of Life fund to support internationally leading research that requires collaborative, interdisciplinary working to address key challenges at the interface of physics and the life sciences. This call will fund high-quality proposals that demonstrate deep integration of cutting edge experimental, theoretical and/or computational physics with life sciences research to advance our understanding of living systems in biological or biomedical contexts.

This UKRI call, led by EPSRC with support from BBSRC and MRC, is making available up to 拢15 million, to include 拢13.2 million of resource funding and 拢1.8 million of capital funding. This call is open to staff of UK institutions who are eligible to receive funding from UKRI as well as Public Sector Research Establishments (PSREs). Multi-institution applications are permitted.

Applicants interested in applying to this call must complete the "intention to submit" form on the call website by 16:00 on 15 January 2019. This information will primarily be used to manage potential conflicts when selecting the panel. Applicants will receive an email from UKRI by 16:00 on Friday 18 January 2019 confirming our expectation that they will submit a full proposal. Full proposals must be submitted by 16:00 on 12 February 2019 and will be assessed directly by an interdisciplinary expert peer review panel from across the physics and life sciences communities.

We envisage high demand for funding, therefore we strongly discourage the premature submission of proposals which may benefit from further development in anticipation of the second Physics of Life call, which will be of a similar scale. Submissions to this call will count towards the EPSRC Repeatedly Unsuccessful Applicants Policy.

Contact information for this call can be found on this page, below the "intent to submit" form.
