EPSRC GLOSSARY

CURRENT VERSION: October 2024

You can spend a lot of time Googling research council terminology … or you can take a smartcut and see the key definitions in one place.

Every field develops its own jargon and terminology that becomes second nature to those working in the discipline … and utterly baffling to those on the outside! The research councils in general, and EPSRC in particular, are no exception to this. To further complicate matters, there is an inordinate fondness for acronyms within the entire civil service. When all of this is combined, it can sometimes feel like you need an interpreter to provide a translation.

Which brings us to this digital download. It provides an overview of over 80 common terms that are used at EPSRC and, where possible, points you to where you can get more information about them.
