Abstract:

In a world of change and competition, the DTI is working to create the conditions for business success and help the UK respond to the challenge of globalisation.

DTI holds a Technology Programme. Its purpose is to provide funding to facilitate further investment in science, engineering and technology with the active participation of business and industry. Applications for funding from the programme are invited through competitions addressing specific technology priorities having critical importance to the growth of the UK economy.

The objective of this programme is to assist industry and research communities to work together on research and development projects in strategically important areas of science, engineering and technology, from which successful new products, processes and services can emerge.

 

This Programme supports 3 categories of research

 

• Pure or oriented basic research

• Applied Research

• Experimental development

 

To be eligible for funding of any project companies should:

• Address the specific requirements of one of the technology priorities in the current competition for funding.

• Be based on research conducted in the UK

• Involve two or more collaborators located in the UK, at least one of which is from industry. Collaborators are organizations that form a consortium to work together cooperatively on a specific research and development project.

• Be industry driven and have a significant proportion of UK industry participation and commitment.
