How to get involved?

We’re keen to connect with academic institutions, SME businesses and industry leaders, and policy makers across the South-West, the UK, and internationally who are interested in the next generation of power semiconductors and devices.

If you want to engage with the world-leading expertise and facilities within REWIRE or want to become part of the REWIRE network, get in touch to set up an introductory call with one of the team.

Research ideas

We welcome expressions of interest from across the semiconductor research and innovation landscape currently outside the REWIRE network who have research ideas that strategically align to REWIRE’s core principles and vision.

Note: We will always acknowledge:

  • Ownership of intellectual property
  • Confidentially
  • The need for ongoing funding

Flexible funding

We have £2 million of flexible funding available to award impactful projects and initiatives through open calls that will seek to:

  • Advance technology and innovation in the UK wide band gap power semiconductor industry
  • Deliver real-world impact, knowledge exchange, and the development of practical solutions with industry partners
  • Widen the REWIRE network, bringing in new partners and making connections within the UK semiconductor industry
  • Support early career researcher development and start-ups/small companies working across power semiconductors and power electronics
  • Catalyse additional leverage from partners, with the potential for follow-on funds from other sources
  • Create inclusive and empowering environments across the semiconductor supply chain through impactful EDI interventions

Open calls will open at different points across the funding period.

If you have ideas for potential projects that you believe could benefit from leveraging our flexible funding, we encourage you to get in touch with the REWIRE team to discuss them in greater detail.
