£7.5m funding for Managing Energy on Marine Vessels opens for registration
Innovate UK in partnership with Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (dstl) has launched a funding competition for collaborative R&D projects to improve the ways in which energy is managed on ships and other marine and maritime vessels.
Businesses within the marine and maritime sector as well as those operating outside the industry with expertise in aspects of electrical systems, energy management or performance monitoring can apply.
The focus of this competition is on the underlying technological challenges that will enable greater efficiencies in the production, management and use of energy.
Proposals must be collaborative and business-led, and the funders would like to see micro and small businesses involved. They expect to fund mainly industrial research projects in which a business partner will generally attract up to 50% public funding for their project costs (60% for SMEs).
Innovate UK and dstL expect projects to range in size from total costs of £500k to £1.5m, although they may consider projects outside this range.
This is a two-stage competition that opened for applicants on 12th January 2015. The deadline for expressions of interest is at noon on 11th March 2015.
