| Description | This is an institutional award and, as such, the University has provided previous reports to the EPSRC on how the funding has been used. The Institutional Sponsorship was focussed on supporting activities that fall within the key strategic aims of EPSRC, rather than undertaking specific research projects. Activities were focussed on the acceleration of impact, the development of the research base and supporting development of an online inventory system. Full reports were provided to EPSRC as part of the Institutional Sponsorship award. |
