New for this year: we have introduced a Reduced Hours Fellowship for additional flexibility. Applicants can spend between 60 to 100 percent of their working time on this award, and up to 40 percent of their time focused on other activities within the business.

Future Leaders Fellowships will grow the strong supply of talented individuals needed to ensure a vibrant environment for research and innovation in the UK. The scheme is open to researchers and innovators from across business, universities, and other organisations. We welcome applicants from around the world. Investment of up to £1.5 million over four years, with the ability to extend to up to seven years, will enable the next generation to benefit from outstanding support to develop their careers, and to work on difficult and novel challenges. We want to fund the best fellows no matter what their background.
