Our CEO, Professor Sir Ian Chapman, provides an update on current and upcoming UKRI opportunities.

There are currently over 100 opportunities on our website, and we’ll be launching or reopening a range of further opportunities over the coming months.

Our investment in skills will continue to increase over the next four years and we will support at least 5,000 PhDs every year.

From June, we will provide quarterly information about upcoming opportunities.
