UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships – Round 11 – Information Session
The scheme is open to early career researchers and innovators from across business, universities, and other organisations, and welcomes applicants from around the world. Awards are for an ambitious programme of research and to support career development for up to four years, with the ability to extend for a further three years, to focus and continue your development. There is no lower or upper limit on the funding that can be requested. UKRI wants to fund the best fellows no matter what their background. The Future Leaders Fellowships scheme has been developed with unprecedented levels of flexibility to support applicants from a wide range of experiences, disciplines and sectors.
UKRI has not yet published the pre-announcement for Round 11 of the FLF, but the call is expected to go live in February 2026 and is expected to be very similar to round 10.
Details of the scheme are at: Future Leaders Fellowships: round 10 – UKRI
An information session, including Q&A, will be held on Wednesday 17th December 14:00 – 15:15 on Teams. To sign-up to receive the teams invite, please complete the booking form at:
