DART (Dengue Advanced Readiness Tools) is a new, Oxford-led project involving scientists around the world, and one of 24 Wellcome-supported projects that will use climate data to better predict and prepare for infectious diseases outbreaks.
The five-year programme, funded by the EPSRC and working with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), will establish a national energy data platform to help facilitate the transition to net-zero carbon emissions.
Three University of Oxford spinouts, including two from MPLS, have raised significant investment to scale their companies in vehicle automation, quantum computing and medical imaging respectively.
The University of Oxford has been selected to help deliver the Met Office Academic Partnership (MOAP) for a further three years, as part of a multi-institutional agreement supporting cutting-edge research in the science of weather and climate prediction.
DeepMind, the leading British artificial intelligence company, has renewed its commitment to supporting students at the University of Oxford following the success of its scholarship programme for under-represented groups in AI.
XTX Markets is partnering with the University to fund a scholarship programme for the academic year 2023/24 supporting graduate students studying in MPLS.
This year\u2019s funding totals \u20ac636 million, with grants awarded through a highly-competitive process. Overall, just 14% of applications were successful this year.
The programme is designed to increase the number of engineering students from socio-economically disadvantaged or under-represented backgrounds and help address the UK skills shortage
The grant to Professor Natalia Ares from the Department of Engineering Science will fund the ASPECTS consortium, which brings together leading experimental and theoretical physicists across Europe with the common goal of uncovering the limitations of natural timekeeping devices to assess whether precision measurements can be more energy efficient.
The Rockefeller Foundation has announced $3 million in new funding for Global.health (G.h) \u2013 a first-of-its-kind, open-source platform for scientific pandemic data.
The University of Oxford is one of nine leading research universities around the world selected to deliver a new global postdoctoral fellowship programme to drive the innovative use of artificial intelligence across science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) announced this week that they have awarded more than \u00a320 million for UK theoretical physics. The investment will benefit the Particle Theory group in the Department of Physics as well as the Mathematical Physics group in the Mathematical Institute.
MPLS DPhil candidates Liliane Momeni and Sheheryar Zaidi have taken up prestigious Google PhD Fellowships, each worth $60,000, after been selected from a highly competitive field of applicants last year.
The fellowship programme provides international research and career development opportunities for early-career researchers in the natural, technical and life sciences.
Martingale is a new postgraduate foundation that offers full funding and multi-year support for outstanding UK students to complete STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) PhDs at leading UK research universities. The first cohort will be concentrated on mathematics.
A DPhil candidate in the Department of Materials is amongst three 2022-entry Scholars to embark on postgraduate studies with support from the Black Academic Futures programme, with a fourth Scholar due to join in 2023/24.
The partnership aims to increase the number of women from low- and middle-income countries who take up offers to study Master's programmes in MPLS departments, with the first Optiver Foundation Scholars joining in October 2023.
Following the award of three European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grants to MPLS academics in April 2022, a fourth award has subsequently been made to Professor Jarvis in the Department of Physics.
