Capital Award support for Early Career Researchers at Imperial College London

伦敦帝国理工学院是国际领先的研究、教育和翻译中心，也是英国唯一一所专注于科学、工程、医学和商业的高等教育机构。学院以世界一流的基础研究和将研究成果转化为社会和经济效益而闻名。这一建议与学院的策略一致，即在研究方面取得持久的卓越成就，并促进世界一流核心学科的发展，以及针对重大社会挑战的多学科研究。提供先进的研究基础设施和设备对我们的使命至关重要，培养世界级人才是学院使命的核心，也是我们战略的体现。这体现了EPSRC对世界级实验室的看法，即支持下一代研究人员，将优秀的人才结合在一起，使用最先进的、适合用途的设备进行前沿研究，并提供合格的、资源充足的技术支持。资金将用于为我们的早期职业研究人员提供学术职位的资本设备，从而：1)增加其研究小组提供的数据的类型和质量；2)提供内部和外部合作的新机会，导致联合拨款提案和出版物；3)提高集团科研环境的吸引力，有助于确保高素质的科研人员。

Imperial College London is an internationally leading centre for research, education and translation and the only UK higher education institution to focus exclusively on science, engineering, medicine and business. The College is renowned both for world-class fundamental research and for the translation of this research for the benefit of society and the economy. This proposal aligns with the College's strategy to achieve enduring excellence in research and to promote the development of world-class core disciplines and multidisciplinary research addressing major societal challenges. The provision of cutting-edge research infrastructure and enabling equipment is essential to our mission and the nurturing of world-class talent is core to the College's mission and embodied in our strategy. This exemplifies EPSRC's view of a World Class Lab supporting the next generation of researchers as a combination of excellent people undertaking cutting-edge research using state-of-the-art, fit-for-purpose equipment underpinned with qualified, well-resourced technical support. Funding will be used to provide capital equipment to our early career researchers with academic posts leading to: 1) increasing the types and quality of data available from their research groups; 2) providing new opportunities for collaboration both internally and externally, resulting in joint grant proposals and publications; and 3) enhancing the attractiveness of the research environment of the group, helping to secure high-quality research staff.
