One of the largest ever funding rounds worth a total of €250m (£224m) has been made available to UK organisations undertaking research in the areas of micro and nanotechnology.

The co-funded grants have been made available through the European Commission, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Technology Strategy Board (TSB).

With support from the Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN), the funding will be awarded within the next 12 months covering a broad range of activities from basic research through to industrial implementation.

Peter Dirken, KTN programme manager at the TSB, said: ‘The UK has a huge base of academics and expertise that if brought together have the potential to create a huge growth in business for the nano and microtechnology markets.

'We are confident that these competitions will generate exciting proposals for new research and development projects and we look forward to seeing what they bring.’
