Purpose of CAMS Call 2026
The purpose of this CAMS Call is to encourage research and innovation within the field of analytical measurement science to address listed industry challenges, or part thereof, across the CAMS priority areas. These challenges may be found at cams-uk.co.uk.
Applicants and their academic institutions are expected to work closely with CAMS Industry Members throughout the duration of the award. Applications should align with at least one of CAMS’s priority areas.
This call is open and competitive; please note you do not need to be an existing member of CAMS to bid.
Funding is available for both PostDocs and PhDs (see Finances section for details), noting that all bidders are expected to secure co-funding that at least matches CAMS’s contribution (which is £45K).
Co-funding may be from a variety of sources; it is anticipated that the Applicant’s academic institution(s) will contribute ‘in-kind’ in some way.
