Many calls for the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund will be launched in the next few months. For example:

• Calls for the Transforming  Construction network plus and research competition will be coming out in June and July. Projects funded under these calls will complement and be expected to work with the two demonstration centres that are currently being commissioned (calls here and here). Until the research and network plus calls are launched we recommend interested academics have a look at the demonstration centre calls which give a good overview of the scope of the challenge.
• The Audiences of the Future challenge will be launching their large scale demonstrator and smaller design foundations competitions in the next fortnight. Consortium and information events will be held between the 8^th and 21^st May – full information available here: https://www.immerseuk.org/resources/iscf-audience-of-the-future-challenges/
• A pre-call announcement for the Next Generation Services innovation and research centres competition has been put on the ESRC website along with dates for information and consortium building events:https://esrc.ukri.org/funding/funding-opportunities/iscf-next-generation-services-research-programme/

Calls for the other challenges are likely to come out a little later and we will pass on further information when we can.
