Net zero transport, disease therapies, and translational medicine are some of the UK sectors set to benefit from a £63m investment in four new research centres.
The universities of Cranfield, Hull, King’s College London and Nottingham have all received funding from round seven of Research England’s flagship UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF) to create the centres.
Funding for the four new centres has now brought the total investment figure for the highly regarded scheme to £1 billion since its inception.
This has enabled universities up and down the country to establish 60 state-of-the-art research centres and facilities, 71 spin-out companies, at the same time creating more than 5,000 UK jobs.
