With the official launch of the UKRI last week, they now have a new website. Visit it here: https://www.ukri.org/
The new web pages will include content and contacts from UK Research and Innovation, as well as content moved over from the archived Research Councils UK website. It also includes a letter from Sir Mark Walport to mark the commencement of UK Research and Innovation, and the launch of the exciting new Leaders Fellowship Scheme (see blog post on funding opportunity and how to apply for BU staff).
