EPSRC Pre-announcement: vaccines manufacturing research hubs. The opportunity offers funding for a large-scale manufacturing research hub to address challenges relating to vaccine delivery or manufacturing in low and middle income countries (LMICs). The funded vaccines manufacturing research hub will join EPSRC’s portfolio of other critical mass investments in manufacturing research. The funding opportunity will aim to:
- Create and deliver a programme of high quality, multidisciplinary research that addresses the major, long term challenges facing vaccine manufacturers for vaccines to be used in LMICs
- Lead and support the development of major new disruptive technologies in the field of vaccine manufacturing for the benefit of LMICs
- Develop technologies and systems that allow for a rapid increase and scale-up of vaccines manufacturing in an epidemic or pandemic situation
- Demonstrate national and international leadership in this area of science, working closely and collaboratively with academic and industrial partners from the UK, other high-income countries and LMICs
The scope of this opportunity is to support innovative, multidisciplinary research programmes in vaccines manufacturing to support rapid and cost-effective development, scale-up, delivery, and manufacture of vaccines. Further details will be provided in the full funding opportunity guidance.

JPIAMR 16th Call AMR diagnostics and surveillance 2023. Through this call, the ERA-NET JPIAMR-ACTION intends to create and reinforce the collaboration between research partners coming from different countries and different fields of expertise to promote research on antimicrobial resistance. The results of the funded projects should contribute to improved understanding, monitoring, detection and mitigation of infection and AMR, or optimisation of antimicrobial use where efforts to curb AMR will have a global impact on human, animal and plant health and food safety and security. In the scope of this call, antimicrobials include antibiotics, antifungals and disinfectants (biocides).
