EPSRC-Defra Reimagining Circularity Outline Stage - Intent to Submit

Overview

EPSRC-Defra Reimagining Circularity Outline Stage: Intent to Submit

Applicants who intend to submit an application to the EPSRC-Defra Reimagining Circularity Outline Stage Funding Opportunity should complete the following Intent to Submit by 11 December 2025 (23:59 UK Time).

The Intention to Submit will be used for administrative purposes only, to assist EPSRC in logistical planning for the assessment of the applications. Providing an Intention to Submit is compulsory for applicants and applications received without prior provision of an Intention to Submit will be rejected. 

Providing an Intention to Submit does not oblige an applicant to submit to this opportunity. EPSRC recognises that the planned activities may change during application development and an application to the opportunity does not have to align fully with the information in the Intention to Submit. 

Please note - you will be asked to enter a UKRI Funding Service APP grant reference number in this form. Please ensure you have created an application on TFS, and have this information prior to submitting your application as it will not be possible to enter it retrospectively.
