EPSRC Support By Subject

Data shown is current at 19th November 2010.

A classification scheme has been developed by the Research Councils which covers all of their remits. This consists of a set of subjects, each with a subset of research topics. The complete list is shown, but there will be subjects that are outside EPSRC's remit.

We classify grants using one or more research topics. Value is the total value of the grants awarded, not the proportion assigned to different research topics, so it does not show the level of investment in different research areas.
