As a development and commercialisation organisation, Lucideon specialises in the research, implementation, and scaling-up of novel materials technologies. We work across a variety of industries including healthcare, construction, energy, and aerospace, with expertise in a wide range of materials. Together, this gives us the cross-sector experience and skills needed to understand a clients’ product or process inside and out.
We help our clients overcome the materials challenges their businesses face in a world demanding ever more environmentally focused application of materials resources and energy. As a trusted partner, we’re aiming to make the world a materially better place.
The UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the main funding body for engineering and physical sciences research in the UK. Our portfolio covers a vast range of fields from digital technologies to clean energy, manufacturing to mathematics, advanced materials to chemistry. EPSRC invests in world-leading research and skills, advancing knowledge and delivering a sustainable, resilient and prosperous UK. We support new ideas and transformative technologies which are the foundations of innovation, improving our economy, environment and society. Working in partnership and co-investing with industry, we deliver against national and global priorities.
EPSRC is part of UK Research and Innovation, the largest public funder of research and innovation in the UK, with a budget of around £9bn. It is composed of seven disciplinary research councils, Innovate UK and Research England. Our mission is to advance knowledge, to improve lives and to deliver growth. We operate across the whole country and work with our many partners in higher education, research organisations, businesses, government, and charities.
Inspiring tomorrow's engineers - We aim to inspire, engage and inform the next generation of engineers via programmes designed to excite young people about the variety and opportunity presented by a career in modern engineering and give them the chance to meet people already working as engineers.
Way back in 1856 the founders of The Engineer laid out a vision to document and report on the astonishing innovations and breakthroughs of the industrial revolution.
More than 160 years later – although the technological landscape would be unrecognisable to our Victorian predecessors - the publication remains true to this vision.
Via its website and monthly print magazine - and through a combination of news, in-depth reports and hard-hitting opinion – the publication gives engineers across all sectors early warning on the disruptive technologies, trends and products that will impact their roles; keeps them informed of developments in other areas of engineering and champions all that is great about UK engineering and manufacturing.
Today, at a time of accelerating technological change, when the role of the engineer is broader than ever before and cross sector collaboration is the key to maintaining a competitive edge, The Engineer has never been more relevant.
