The UK Acoustics Network Plus (UKAN+)
UKAN+ was awarded funding to coordinate a portfolio of exploratory projects to accelerate the acoustic community, to support new, ambitious, speculative research spanning the interdisciplinary science of acoustic related research in the UK. The range of interests of members within the world of acoustics provides a productive environment for cross-fertilisation of ideas and initiatives. Interdisciplinary and collaborative proposals were strongly welcomed, addressing key challenges highlighted in the UKAN+ Acoustics Research Priorities. UKAN+ has not funded research for which funding was available from other sources.
