The Future Electrical Machines Manufacturing Hub launched its 3rd Feasibility call in August 2023 to provide a mechanism for new academic collaborators to engage with the FEMM Hub. It was offering awards up to the value of £75,000 each (80% fEC) to support Feasibility Studies at TRLs 1-3. The call was open to all UK academics eligible to receive EPSRC funding and whose institutions are not currently FEMM Hub partners. Proposals were envisaged to have a maximum duration of 12 months and maximum value of £93,750 at full Economic Cost (fEC), with funding to be awarded at 80% of fEC.
The FEMM Hub were impressed by the quality of applications and are happy to share that 7 projects were funded (see below). More information on these projects will be available in due course:
