Low Carbon Vehicles Integrated Delivery Programme Third Call

The Technology Strategy Board and EPSRC have announced a third call under the Low Carbon Vehicle Innovation Platform. This call for research proposal outlines invites for those eligible to receive EPSRC funding to submit outline proposals for small-scale, short term feasibility projects exploring future technologies that might contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions from the UK vehicle market and so help support the uptake of low carbon vehicles. This call is being run in conjunction with the Technology Strategy Board’s Integrated Delivery Programme (IDP) where it forms the strategic portfolio of that activity, supporting the flow of research ideas into the IDP from academia. Submissions to this call will be initially assessed through project outlines. Those outlines that are successful will be invited to submit a full, more detailed proposal. Subject to the quality of the submissions received, up to £3 million is available for this call, which is expected to support projects of between 12 and 18 months in duration. The deadline for submission of project outlines is 22 September 2009.
