AIRTO member UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) flagship Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) fund allows universities and businesses to develop talented early career researchers and innovators and attract new people to their organisations, including from overseas.
Seventy-seven talented early-career researchers have been awarded a total of £120 million to lead vital research, collaborate with innovators and develop their careers as the research and innovation leaders of the future. Out of the successful applications, 13 projects are led by businesses and funded via AIRTO member Innovate UK.
The FLF scheme provides long-term (up to seven years) fellowship support to early career researchers. This enables them to tackle ambitious programmes or multidisciplinary questions, and new or emerging research and innovation areas and partnerships.
