Welcome: Researchers, Innovators and Local Authorities To Realise Vision For Future Cities
Welcome to the website for Research Councils UK (RCUK), the strategic partnership of the UK's
seven Research Councils.
Each year the Research Councils invest around 3 billion in research covering the full spectrum of
academic disciplines from the medical and biological sciences to astronomy, physics, chemistry and
engineering, social sciences, economics, environmental sciences and the arts and humanities.
We support excellent research, as judged by peer review, that has an impact on the growth,
prosperity and wellbeing of the UK. To maintain the UKs global research position we offer a diverse
range of funding opportunities, foster international collaborations and provide access to the best
facilities and infrastructure around the world. We also support the training and career development of
researchers and work with them to inspire young people and engage the wider public with research.
To maximise the impact of research on economic growth and societal wellbeing we work in
partnership with other research funders including Innovate UK, the UK Higher Education Funding
Councils, business, government, and charitable organisations.
