Shape the UK's approach to Infection Transmission
iiCON is hosting two novel technologies sandpits supported by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) with funding available to accelerate disruptive approaches to combat infection spread.
Hosted in Liverpool on March 14th and London on May 9th, the events will bring companies and research groups together to shape future responses to infection transmission.
This exciting initiative will spark the formation of new cross-disciplinary networks and support participants to in bringing forward novel concepts and approaches that may hold the key to unlocking this critical issue.
We are seeking innovators who are working with breakthrough technologies and approaches in fields such as:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Digital & Automation
- Advanced Humanised Infection models
- Novel Diagnostics
Sessions will be hosted by world-leading experts in infection transmission and are designed to spark ideas, foster innovation, and create new collaborative approaches to tackle this urgent challenge and drive forward novel projects.
Interested parties with novel technologies who have not previously worked in infection transmission are particularly encouraged to register interest.
The initiative is supported with £1.5 million funding from UKRI to bring new research communities together and support feasibility studies.
The sandpits will shape the call for funding pots of £50,000 to £150,000 to test disruptive approaches to tackling infections. Network support grants of up to £50,000 will also be available.
