UKRI Strength in Places Fund Wave 2 - Engagement Events, 2019

The Strength in Places Fund (SIPF) is a competitive funding scheme that takes a place-based approach to research and innovation funding to support significant regional growth. SIPF is led by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), in partnership with the higher education funding bodies of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Office for Students.

SIPF funds collaborative projects between businesses and research organisations, acting in local geographies and backed by relevant local stakeholders, to support innovation-led local growth across any technological area, sector or research area.

Throughout May and June 2019 we will hold a series of information events to publicise the scope and expectations of the upcoming SIPF Wave 2 funding call. Events are targeted at representatives from business and research organisations. Attendance at this meeting is not a pre-requisite for submitting a SIPF proposal. An audio recording of the presentations and slides will be made available on the UKRI website after the events.
