EPSRC Annual Report and Accounts 2010-2011

This issue provides highlights for the year 2010/11 and outlines some of our key achievements during the 2008-11 Delivery Plan period.

This is reassuring because the global challenges facing :
an ageing population;
the need for low-carbon energy alternatives;
global security threats;
the impact of climate change;
the need for new sustainable manufacturing technologies, all need addressing urgently with innovative thought.
