After four successful rounds, which between them have supported over 400 companies, Analysis for Innovators (A4I) Round 5 (Phase 1) will open on the 29 July.

A4I is a programme that gives UK businesses of any size access to cutting-edge R&D expertise and facilities to help solve problems that they have been unable to tackle using standard technologies and techniques. It might be around product reliability, cost or product lifetime.

The detailed scope of Round 5 will be released in mid-July and the main competition briefing will be held in London on the 31 July (also svailable via webcast). Prior to the competition opening, there will be a series of roadshow events organised during July:

• 19th July, NPL
• 22nd July, Glasgow
• 23rd July, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxford
• 24th July, STFC Daresbury
• 30th July, Swansea

An overview of the A4I programmes and examples of previous projects can be found at A4I.info
