Academic community

Through scholarships, partners and funding, we’re supporting the next generation of STEM talent.

G-Research scholarships

We are fully funding 42 PhD students across eight of the UK’s leading universities.

This investment is designed to foster innovation among the world’s brightest minds, providing the financial support needed for postgraduates to push the boundaries within their chosen field of study.

Scholarships are administered by relevant departments within each selected university.

Monthly grants

Each month, we award a number of grants – worth up to £2,000 each – to early-career researchers (PhD students and PostDocs) working in STEM fields.

These grants are designed to cover aspects of research life that are often overlooked by traditional funding, such as travel costs, conference attendance and childcare. Since launching in 2021, we’ve supported over 100 early-career researchers in advancing their work.
