The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Faraday Battery Challenge (FBC) is a Government initiative that is enabling the decarbonisation of the UK’s transport sector whilst ensuring that the UK prospers from this transition. Established in 2017, the FBC has been designed to create an effective research, innovation and scale-up ecosystem that can deploy advancements in battery technology and secure a battery manufacturing base in the UK. This is being delivered through its three pillars: the Faraday Institution (FI), Innovate UK and the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC). The budget for this requirement is up to between £150,000 and £200,000 ex VAT, The duration of the contract is four months and the final study is required by December.
