This project is designed to promote a synergy of the skills and expertise of key personnel in several key research groups, across a range of disciplines both in the UK and overseas, and working with targeted user communities to share their expertise and wide experience, with the people involved enthusiastically collaborating for success. In so doing, the prime theme of this project is to create new technological opportunities which would otherwise be very difficult to develop individually due to the limitations in individual facilities and resources and the depth of knowledge required, to create real innovation over a broad technological field. Most importantly, the focus of the application is on the team brought together to 'bring out the best' in a group of engineers with complementary skills, to achieve the step change that is needed to meet the challenges of competitiveness for the user community over the next decade and beyond. The consortium brought together for the first time, is one of significant diversity, which encompassing expertise and experience in optical fibre sensors, MEMS sensor design, fabrication and integration, chemistry, chemical engineering, communications and civil structures and has been created to make the step change in both the required sensor technologies and material science and thus developing a competitive edge to meet demands from user communities. The consortium has an excellent balance of experienced and early career staff, but above all is a group with the intellectual depth and drive to be successful, to take on new challenges and meet new opportunities.The project planned adds a new dimension to what is a very strong current grants portfolio of the UK consortium. The applicants hold a number of prestigious grants - amongst them 2 Platform Grants, 2 Challenging Engineering grants and 1 Advanced Fellowship (the latter two specifically recognizing excellence among early career researchers), together with a number of Responsive Mode grants and contracts with a strong KT dimension e.g. KTPs, which together emphasize meeting today's research needs.

该项目旨在促进几个关键研究小组的关键人员的技能和专业知识的协同作用，跨越英国和海外的一系列学科，并与目标用户社区合作，分享他们的专业知识和广泛的经验，参与人员热情协作，争取成功。在这样做的时候，这个项目的主要主题是创造新的技术机会，否则由于个别设施和资源的限制以及所需的知识深度，这些机会将很难单独开发，从而在广泛的技术领域创造真正的创新。最重要的是，该应用程序的重点是聚集在一起的团队，在拥有互补技能的工程师团队中发挥最好的作用，实现必要的步骤变化，以应对用户社区在未来十年乃至更长时间内面临的竞争力挑战。该联盟首次汇聚在一起，是一个具有显著多样性的联盟，包括光纤传感器、MEMS传感器设计、制造和集成、化学、化学工程、通信和土木结构方面的专业知识和经验，其成立的目的是在所需的传感器技术和材料科学方面实现阶段性变化，从而形成竞争优势，以满足用户社区的需求。该财团拥有经验丰富的员工和早期职业生涯的完美平衡，但最重要的是，该财团拥有知识深度和成功的动力，能够接受新的挑战和迎接新的机会。计划中的项目为英国财团目前非常强大的赠款组合增添了一个新的维度。申请者拥有多项享有盛誉的奖助金，其中包括2项平台奖助金、2项挑战工程奖助金和1项高级研究金(后两项特别表彰早期职业研究人员的卓越表现)，以及一些具有强烈KT维度的响应式奖助金和合同，例如KTP，它们共同强调满足当今的研究需求。
