Medicines Manufacturing Skills: Centre of Excellence Competition

UK registered organisations can apply for grants to establish and coordinate a skills centre of excellence to tackle the skills gaps of the medicines manufacturing sector.

This competition is jointly operated by Innovate UK (IUK) and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

The aim of the competition is to strengthen the UK’s medicines manufacturing skills and training ecosystem and increase the flow and retention of talent needed by the sector to grow.

This will be achieved by establishing a centre of excellence (CoE) to coordinate and work with the medicines manufacturing skills and training community to deliver appropriate training and skills provisions.
