Call for Evidence: Context Balancing Capability is one of three strategies in our strategic plan and is an important part of managing our portfolio of investments. It aligns our portfolio to areas of UK strength and national importance. Our strategy has enabled us to champion excellence and invest in research of the highest quality in addition to securing better value for the taxpayer. Through this strategy, EPSRC supports a balanced portfolio that nurtures both discovery and challengeled research – a balance that is achieved through our engagement with the business and government to influence, respond and adapt to a changing research landscape. Balancing Capability has continued to use the research area trajectories of ‘grow’, ‘maintain’ and ‘reduce’ and this approach will continue to enable EPSRC to balance our portfolio in line with national need.

What is EPSRC doing now as part of the Balancing Capability strategy? EPSRC are now reviewing the research area rationales to reflect how the research base has changed over the last five years. This will enable EPSRC to align these with future aspirations for the next five years. Why are we reviewing our rationales?  



Our original research area rationales were published in 2012 and the science landscape has continued to evolve and we need to ensure our rationales reflect this. We need to ensure we focus on UK strengths and nationally important areas so the UK remains internationally competitive and builds strength in areas with potential in terms of national prosperity. In our delivery plan, we have identified four interlinked Outcomes which collectively underpin UK prosperity: Productivity, Connectedness, Resilience and Health. We want to ensure that our research area rationales link appropriately to this outcomes framework.

What is the Call for Evidence? The Call for Evidence is a process to gather further evidence to support the review of our research area rationales. It will support the work that EPSRC already has undertaken. The combined analysis of this will inform the development of our research area rationales in implementing the delivery plan. Specific details for the Call for Evidence are: 

To submit to the Call for Evidence organisations will need to register by emailing [email protected]. Final submission details issued through this email address. The returns period will open on Monday 11 April and remain open until Friday 3 June.



This is a call for evidence and not a request for personal opinion. Evidence is as defined at annex A.

Page 2 of 32



This activity will call for pieces of evidence and an explanation demonstrates relative to the quality, national importance and capacity area or areas (as defined at annex B). We are particularly interested in an international perspective. Evidence should be timely and relate to the within the context of the last 5 years.

of what this of a research evidence with research area



Returns will be in the format indicated on the template found on our website and as shown in annex C; each piece of evidence described should be a distinct entry. The template contains an additional note section that should be used to highlight where multiple pieces of evidence collectively contribute towards the conclusions against quality, national importance and capacity considerations for research areas. An example return is provided in the annex.



All research areas will be open for submission. However, as there are 112 research areas1, submitters may choose to prioritise their returns. To aid this process, we have highlighted specific research areas where specific information is particularly sought (Annex D).



EPSRC does not expect significant levels of resource to be invested in seeking or generating evidence. We do however want to pool the collective knowledge of the community to identify pieces of evidence, which may be of benefit in informing the future direction of the research area rationales.



Responses will be submitted at an institutional level e.g. Universities, businesses and professional bodies. This will allow a strategic overview, ensure consistent returns, and aid analysis. EPSRC will continue to engage with specific communities, for example through workshops.



A snapshot of evidence already considered by EPSRC is at annex G. As evidence and engagement activities are on-going, this evidence pool is not final and will continue to evolve alongside this call.



Not all evidence submitted will be specifically referenced in the refreshed rationales – responders to the call should bear that in mind when preparing returns. All submissions will be considered as part of the wider body of evidence to form forward rationales that also balance external constraints and emerging trends across our portfolio.

What will the evidence be used for? Evidence gathered already is being used to inform our future decisions on research areas. Evidence identified through the call will contribute to wider analysis being undertaken by EPSRC ensuring that we are as informed as possible when making decisions. Working in partnership with our strategic advisory bodies, EPSRC will make recommendations on the future rationales for the research areas. The final decisions on research areas will be relative and in practice, this means that comparable judgements will be made between research areas. EPSRC Council will approve the decisions.

Please note that these 112 research areas reflect proposed changes to our portfolio in the next Delivery Plan (2016-20). For more information on these changes and their definitions, please see Annex E. Page 3 of 32

Information provided to EPSRC via the Call for Evidence will be used for the purpose of internal policy and strategy development. This will be viewed by EPSRC staff (and other parties assisting in the process e.g. SATs) only and your information will not be used for any other purpose without your specific consent. Responders should be aware that we cannot give an assurance that confidentiality can be maintained in all circumstances, and should bear this in mind when formulating responses.

Annex A: What does EPSRC regard as evidence for the purpose of this project?

Pieces of evidence are documents that identify facts or information that indicate a conclusion around the criteria of national importance, quality and capacity (defined at Annex B). These facts may be research area, discipline or theme specific and can be used to build an assessment of the change in activities over the last Delivery Plan period and inform decisionmaking around future rationales and directions. Evidence should be timely and not historical pieces of evidence with little relevance to today’s environment. Factual evidence   

Evidence that has been published in the form of a report or publication (see below), Evidence where points made cite references that have not been misrepresented, Evidence focused on potential future opportunities e.g. horizon scanning.

In addition to published reports, this category may include items such as theme day reports or community workshops, especially if a wide collection of experts contributed. Internal working group outputs may also count as evidence; however, their outputs will be tensioned against other returns of this nature. Opinion data should not be included, especially where:  

It represents the views of an individual alone, Points made cannot be linked to published evidence or credible internal analysis i.e. are observational or perceived in nature.

N.B. We will not accept individual research publications in journals as evidence against quality, national importance or capacity. A formal and publically accessible meta-analysis may be eligible where appropriate and demonstrates against the criteria as defined at annex B Reviews may be cited as evidence if they demonstrate against the criteria as defined at annex B.

Annex B: Definitions of Quality, NI and Capacity The overall Quality of a research area takes into account:   

The international standing of the Research Area; Its potential to lead to transformative or disruptive research; Whether the area provides the UK with a unique capability in an international context.

The National Importance of a Research Area takes into account: •

• •

•

how the Research Area contributes to, or helps maintain the health of other research disciplines, contributes to addressing key UK societal challenges, contributes to current or future UK economic success, for example, through increased productivity, connectedness, resilience and health. See our Delivery Plan Outcome framework; Enables future development of key emerging industry(s); the extent to which the Research Area has the potential to meet national strategic needs by establishing or maintaining a unique world leading research activity (including areas of niche capability); how the Research Area fits with and complements other UK research funded in the area or related areas in EPSRC’s portfolio.

The Capacity definition takes into account: 1. The balance of people The numbers, international standing and quality of the researchers in this area. The balance of researchers at different career stages, profile or shape of the people pipeline. • Evidence of leadership and potential leadership • The destination of PhD students • Flexibility in skills, knowledge and attitude of the cohort • The risks of losing capacity • Trends in people issues over time e.g. the speed of change 2. The range of accessible facilities and equipment • •

The relevance of facilities/equipment e.g. the age of equipment, whether it is state of the art or how critical it is to the research process • The value of the facilities/equipment for the research community – identify who uses them and how they are used • Researchers’ ability to use facilities and equipment • Mid- range facilities – how useful they are and what other areas the model could be extended to • Equipment replacement programmes – consider what is needed for a research field e.g. by looking at what has been needed historically 3. The coverage of research themes across the Engineering and Physical Sciences •

NB A full list of research areas are here with definitions of our new research areas detailed in Annex E.

Page 10 of 32

Annex E: New Research Areas

These are the eight new research areas EPSRC are creating as part of the refresh project. Please note that these definitions are still in development and will continue to evolve. Microelectronics Device Technology (merge of CMOS and non-CMOS) This theme covers research into electronic devices, from enabling technologies and implementation of materials, to the integration of these technologies as components for electronic devices and circuits. This research also includes devices based on integrating electronics with computational state variables beyond electronic charge alone. This area excludes research predominantly based on photonic or quantum technologies, which are covered separately in the Optoelectronic Devices and Circuits, and Quantum Devices Components and Systems research areas respectively. Theoretical Computer Science (merge of Maths of Computing and Theory of computation) Theoretical computer science (TCS) examines the fundamental and foundational aspects of computers and computation, and employs abstract models and the rigorous use of mathematical and logical concepts and reasoning. It includes the study of the limitations of computation, through algorithms and complexity, and the study of programming languages, through their semantics and their relationship with logic; however, it is far more wide-ranging than this and underpins almost all of Computer Science with strong links with various branches of Mathematics. Research in TCS aims to improve our understanding of computation, its capabilities, limitations and future potential. Power Generation (split from Conventional generation and combustion) Research covering the chemical reaction mechanisms involved in combustion processes to fundamental, generic and applied research in coal, gas and oil combustion in power generation. This topic also covers design and development of new plant and machinery and / or research on the improved operation of existing plant for conventional electrical generation (in other words based on conventional and unconventional fossil fuels). Monitoring of plant condition within the generation process is included in the theme. Combustion engineering (split from Conventional generation and combustion) Combustion Engineering is concerned with the addressing fundamental engineering challenges related to combustion and associated technologies through the application of both multi-scale modelling and experimental approaches. This research area will contribute towards the advanced propulsion systems of the future. Operational research (merge of Mathematical aspects of operational research, aspects of transport operations and management, and Engineering approaches to manufacturing operations) Operational Research concerns the development and application of advanced analytical methods to support improved decision-making, especially in relation to the operation of complex systems. These analytical methods draw heavily from mathematics, statistics and computer science. They include (but are not limited to) modelling, optimisation, forecasting, simulation, data analysis, stochastic processes and computational search.

Page 11 of 32

Applications include (but are not limited to) manufacturing, service and supply chain operations; healthcare; transportation; telecommunications and networks; policy modelling; environment, energy and natural resources; security and defence; revenue management; financial engineering; reliability and maintenance. This area is crosscutting. It includes (i) theoretical contributions to the analytical underpinnings; (ii) novel analytical responses to applied challenges; and (iii) contributions to associated technologies and systems-including manufacturing technologies, engineering design and systems engineering. Mathematical Biology (new area) Mathematical Biology covers research into the development and application of state-ofthe-art mathematical or statistical tools and techniques to investigate biological processes and systems, including those of relevance to the medical sciences. It includes research into the development of such tools for the mathematical treatment of biological processes operating at any spatial or temporal scale, or over multiple scales, from the molecular level to the whole population level. Infrastructure and urban systems (merge of Sustainable land management, aspects of built environment, and non-operational aspects of Transport operations and management) Quantitative engineering research relating to future development of cities, and smart, resilient and sustainable infrastructures. Including design, improvement, management and use of IT in monitoring and modelling of the performance of infrastructure systems. Interconnection and interdependencies between infrastructures and whole systems approach to infrastructures. Photonic materials (merge of Photonic materials and metamaterials and plasmonics) Research into the synthesis, characterisation and theoretical understanding of materials, which can mould the flow of light or plasmons under certain conditions. This area includes liquid crystals, photonic crystals, metamaterials, organic and inorganic semiconductors and plasmonics. This area does not include materials for energy applications, electro- active ceramics or polymers or material integration into devices. This research is included in related research areas.

Annex F: Frequently Asked Questions How do I obtain the full details to submit? Please email [email protected] and specific details will be issued before the call goes live. Please note only eligible organisations can submit to the Call for Evidence. Individual personal responses are not eligible. How can I contribute? Organisations should agree the best mechanism to administer and solicit evidence gathering internally. You should enquire at your institution, company or professional body about your local arrangements. What do I do if I disagree with my organisation’s return? This is a call for evidence. Personal views will not be considered as part of this process. In addition, EPSRC have not prescribed the mechanism through which responses should be collected locally – this is a local arrangement and you should engage early on with your institution. Why can’t I submit my own evidence to this call? EPSRC made the decision to limit returns to an organisational level to allow for a strategic overview, ensure higher quality returns, and deliver a more manageable process after feedback from organisations likely to be involved and learned societies that suggested this. EPSRC, at a theme level, will continue to engage with specific communities, for example through workshops. Why is the call only open for 8 weeks? We are issuing advanced notice of the Call for Evidence to ensure that we provide sufficient time for high quality returns to be prepared. We are not expecting responders to spend significant quantities of time sourcing evidence if it is not clearly available. I’m an early career researcher and worry that my views are being overlooked. What are EPSRC going to do about this? This is call for evidence and not a request for personal opinion. . Organisations have been informed of the Call for Evidence and have should agree internally the best mechanism to administer and solicit evidence gathering. You should enquire at your institution, company or professional body about your local arrangements. EPSRC will continue to engage with the community including across all career stages. How do I submit? Full details will be issued in advance of the calls formal opening. Please register by emailing [email protected] Why do you need to change the research trajectories? The science landscape has continued to evolve and we need to ensure our rationales reflect this. These were published in 2012 and we committed to refreshing the rationales early on in the new delivery plan. Why are you not doing a full consultation? The Call for Evidence forms part of a range of activities to inform current Balancing Capability activities. As the objective is to refresh existing rationales, the Call for Evidence supports EPSRC’s theme level consultations to allow the collection of additional evidence to inform decisions.

Page 13 of 32

Annex G: Snapshot of the Current Evidence Base The below list represents a snapshot of the evidence database that EPSRC has so far complied during its Balancing Capability Evidence and Engagement Activities. Please note that these activities are ongoing and the evidence base will continue to evolve while the Call for Evidence is live. EPSRC is providing this list to prevent, as far as possible, the duplication of effort; we therefore ask that no submissions are made replicating the evidence documented below.
