This project will deliver a practical blueprint for integrating insect bioconversion into mixed farming systems, enabling farms to transform low value waste into high value products. Led by Sunrise Farm Partnership and supported by Annabels Deliciously British and the University of Leeds, the initiative focuses on developing a scalable 'Hub and Spoke' mod...

Sepsis, a leading cause of preventable mortality, affects over 250,000 people annually in the UK, with a mortality rate of 29% and a significant healthcare burden of £10 billion. Vancomycin (Vancomycin), a critical treatment for sepsis, poses major dosing challenges due to its narrow therapeutic index and variability in blood-protein binding. Current moni...

The GeoGrid project explores the use of Geothermal Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) to store renewable electricity as heat with Leeds University as a trial site. LDES offers a cost-effective, scalable solution that will reduce constraint on the electricity networks. By storing off-peak electricity and discharging it during peak demand periods, LDES can...

Our network will focus on assisting the efficient and safe availability of medical diagnostic tests in the UK, by building a collaborative network of regulators, industry, people living with disease and users of tests and researchers. Efficient regulation of diagnostic tests not only assists patient and consumer safety, but also improves the nation's heal...

ORE Catapult, University of Leeds, University of the West of England, University of Birmingham, EMR, and Ionic Technologies are seeking to establish a network to explore the regulatory and legislative drivers and barriers impacting the development of innovation in the circular supply chain for the wind sector. With the earliest turbines coming towards the...

High performance materials such as ceramics, refractory metals and metal-matrix composites are in demand across a variety of high-value manufacturing sectors covering medical implants, industrial systems, automotive, electronics, energy and aerospace. This is due to their material properties including excellent electrical and thermal insulation, biocompat...

Multiple major reports have identified that many products sold on online marketplaces are not compliant with required standards. A core reason why is because online competition is fierce and many sellers avoid costs by being non-compliant and avoiding fees/levies. This discourages innovators as they are often under-cut by sellers selling non-compliant pro...

**Lupin** is an under-explored crop that has a great potential to replace imported soya for both livestock feed and as human food due to its high quality/quantity protein composition that is equivalent to soya and outcompeting peas/beans. Diversification of protein crops f**or human nutrition** is key to address food security challenges and net zero targe...

Railway crossings degrade significantly faster than plain line track, with lifespans commonly lasting less than 5 years despite their design lives typically being 15 years. This results in Billions of Euros being spent on unplanned corrective maintenance, crossing renewals and delay-minutes, which would not occur if they could be better managed to reach t...

The project PhDs EU-Rail aims to foster collaboration and innovation in the European railway sector by consolidating a scientific community and conducting research through 10 PhD positions. The project is closely aligned with the goals of the EU-RAIL Joint Undertaking (EU-Rail) and industry partners. The objectives of the project include developing a rese...
