The focus for this application is to support the research activity of more than 20 young early career research workers (ECRs) in the four cross-disciplinary fields of Energy, Catalysis, Manufacturing Technologies and Healthcare Technologies. These research themes were chosen for investment in new research staff on the basis of the University's existing cognate research strengths, the challenges that exist in these areas in terms of meeting future societal needs, their potential for world class research and for addressing issues of future national importance. Each of these research themes have active research programmes related to EPSRC research areas. The funds will support small items of equipment under £10k for research programmes led by these ECRs, enhacing the research capabilities of these groups, enabling new strands of research and collaborations with other research groups both at Liverpool and in the wider UK academic community. Areas that will be supported within these themes include:Energy - problems in renewable energy, reduction in energy demand and nuclear power, advances in new energy materials, including batteries and photovoltaics, environmental aspects of nuclear energy and materials modelling.Catalysis -fundamentals of catalytic and photocatalytic materials and processes, development of new materials and their application, particularly to advanced manufacturing for specific materials, development of cleaner, safer and cheaper routes to existing technologies and the development of new catalysts for bio-fuels and other energy applications.Manufacturing Technologies - developing technologies for manufacturing industries by supporting new technology platforms that have broad application in high value manufacturing, developing precision control and data processing capability from strengths in engineering to both establish the platform itself and demonstrate how it can be applied to problems of industrial importance.Healthcare Technologies - supporting biomedical engineering as a fast growing area of research by equipping cross-disciplinary collaborations in the physical and life sciences, engineering and medicine to examine soft and hard tissue biomechanics, biomaterials and image processing, leading to development of new medical devices.

该应用的重点是支持20多名年轻职业生涯研究工作者（ECR）在能源，催化，制造技术和医疗保健技术的四个跨学科领域的研究活动。这些研究主题是根据大学现有的同源研究优势的新研究人员投资的，这些领域是满足未来社会需求，世界一流研究的潜力以及解决未来国家重要性问题的这些领域所面临的挑战。这些研究主题中的每一个都有与EPSRC研究领域有关的积极研究计划。这些资金将为这些ECR领导的研究计划提供支持的一小部分设备，从而提高了这些小组的研究能力，并在利物浦和更广泛的英国学术界与其他研究小组进行了新的研究和合作。这些主题中将支持的领域包括：能源 - 可再生能源的问题，能源需求和核电的减少，新能源材料的进步，包括电池和光伏的新能源材料，核能和材料的环境方面，核能的环境方面 - 催化 - 催化和光催化材料的催化材料及其应用程序的催化和光材料材料的催化剂，及其针对新的材料的开发，以及更加清晰的途径，开发的材料，以及供应，及其供应，并开发了特定的途径，并开发了供应，并开发了特定的途径，以下方面的途径，以下方技术和开发用于生物燃料和其他能源应用的新催化剂。制造技术 - 通过支持在高价值制造中具有广泛应用的新技术平台来开发制造业技术的技术通过在物理和生命科学，工程和医学上装备跨学科合作的研究，以检查软组织生物力学，生物材料和图像处理，从而导致新医疗设备的开发。
