Innovate UK (UKRI)

Efficient, Structured and Controllable AI Systems

About this grant

Innovate UK feasibility and industrial research funding to experimentally validate prototype novel, reusable artificial intelligence and machine learning mechanisms (for example new learning mechanisms, adaptive architectures, learned causal models, graph-native or physics-structured learning). Projects must fit one of four themes: resource and data adaptive learning; causal and intervention grounded models; learned modular computation and routing; geometric, equivariant and physics structured learning. Projects start at TRL 1 to 3, last 1 to 3 months, start by 1 April 2027 and end by 30 June 2027. This is phase 1 of a potential two-phase competition, with no phase 2 funding yet allocated.
