Manufacturing Scale-up Research for Automotive and Aerospace

This funding opportunity supports research projects that translate cutting-edge research into practical, cost-effective, and flexible manufacturing solutions for the automotive and aerospace industries. Eligible projects must address the challenges of scaling up recently developed technologies and manufacturing processes to production levels. Two funding tracks are available: Large grants of £4.5-5.8 million for projects lasting up to 4 years, or small grants of up to £600,000 for projects lasting up to 2 years. This is ideal for research organizations, manufacturers, and technology developers seeking to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and market-ready production capabilities.
