For years, England has had a policy of supporting areas of existing excellence – more funding for those who already have capacity and influence.
Of course, there are many parts of the system where there is potential to grow small research areas into significant areas of work
The Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund aims to build capacity and quality of research within departments and units in English higher education providers.
We are interested in nothing less than strengthening the work of universities to push the frontier of human knowledge, deliver economic impact, create social impact, and support our society and others to become enriched, healthier, more resilient, and more sustainable.
