Funding for post-doctoral feasibility studies of 6-12 months duration is available to UK academics external to the Centre. These studies need to relate to the Centre vision but can span the full breadth of our remit.
These studies are encouraged to make use of Centre facilities and they should involve active collaboration with a Centre researcher.
The intention is that Centre involvement will help to bring these studies forward to a point where incorporation within the Centre programme is possible or where new funding opportunities are created. In this way these studies grow the capabilities of the Centre and its network of users.
The priority themes for feasibility studies are: Biophysical measurementNew technologies and manufacturing strategiesModelling / Optimisation methodologiesLifecycle cost analysis
- Biophysical measurement
- New technologies and manufacturing strategies
- Modelling / Optimisation methodologies
- Lifecycle cost analysis
