INTRODUCTION

Wind Turbines One of the Joule Centre’s major objectives is to create an internationally leading energy research centre in the Northwest by increasing the profile and Research & Development capacity and activities in key areas of new sustainable energy technologies and energy systems.

As part of our commitment to providing a focal point for these activities in the Northwest, we have awarded research grants to eligible organisations within the region. The grants provide financial support to research organisations within the Northwest of England for specific research projects in the engineering and physical sciences, social sciences and biological sciences. The research funded by the Joule Centre for Energy Research is supported through managed programmes.

It is envisaged that the grants will act as a catalyst for continued progress and investment in sustainable energy research technology and development in the Northwest, whilst also making a valuable contribution to increasing knowledge in the wider community of energy sustainability and the environment.
