> Two scholarships are offered to researchers who will build upon our previous work in material thinking and design for ageing populations to develop ways in which design-led research can improve people's lives across a range of social and individual needs.  When making your application, please indicate which of the Project Areas your proposal relates to. There will be a particular focus upon ways in which such approaches come together with materials, technologies and artificial intelligence to address real-world challenges in the health, social and environmental spheres.  We wish to receive proposals that develop innovation within scientific research into materials in the following thematic areas:
> 
> Human Purpose: proposals are invited that consider technological advances that operate at both social and global levels.  Areas of particular interest are: dementia, diabetes and post- stroke rehabilitation, which are increasingly visible, but require innovative design-led thinking that builds or sustains independence and safety. 
> 
> Inclusive Design 3.0: proposals are invited that research and develop the theory and practice of inclusive design, looking at areas it has not traditionally considered. This could include, but is not limited to: social issues in a global context as related to the UN’s eight Millennium development goals; engaging with new forms of technology such as artificial intelligence / virtual reality; intelligent and inclusive mobility.
