| Results and Impact | "The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the UK's main agency for funding research in engineering and the physical sciences. EPSRC invests around £800 million a year in research and postgraduate training, to help the nation handle the next generation of technological change." For several years EPSRC has designated RF and Microwave Devices and RF and Microwave Communications as growth areas, and this policy is manifested in a current portfolio of grants in these areas totaling over £30M. In this workshop, the strategic direction, ambition and vision of EPSRC for RF and Microwave research will be presented and discussed, and a series of talks showcasing a cross section of current EPSRC funded projects will be given. |

| Results and Impact | The European Space Agency (ESA), CNES, EDA and the DGA are jointly organising the 8th Wide Bandgap Semiconductor and Components workshop to promote and facilitate information exchange on wide bandgap technologies for microwave, power switching, sensor and other emerging space/defence applications. This will be a 2 day event, to be held at ESA's newest establishment ECSAT, Harwell, UK, on the 12th and 13th of September 2016. An important objective is to facilitate information exchange between aerospace, defence, Space Agency and EU funded research programmes in order to enhance visibility on latest developments, allowing for a proper coordination that ensures a rapid transition of the technology into manufacturing industry. To do so, an open discussion session is planned in which attendee viewpoints will be gathered in order to identify key problem areas and to help coordinate and plan future research and development work programmes. |
