I have been invited to become a member of the EPSRC Associate Peer Review College.
The EPSRC has a budget of £0.8 billion, which it uses to fund research in engineering and the physical sciences.
These research grants are awarded on a competitive basis, and a pool of reviewers decide on which proposals should be funded. The process should be an interesting one, particularly for keeping up to date and influencing priority research areas for UK science and engineering.
