HORIBA Foundation UK

We are a believer in brilliant science.

A science shaped by diverse minds. A science tackling the issues of our time.
A science making the world a better place for all.

Our vision is to be a trusted supporter of a diverse UK science ecosystem delivering high-impact research. We do this by establishing scholarships, funding grants, and providing mentorship for next-generation scientists who will deliver new ideas and high-impact research. Our funding is focused on ensuring a diverse scientific community within the United Kingdom contributing to the realisation of a sustainable society and the preservation of the global environment and resources.

We work closely with partner higher education institutions to encourage broader participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and healthcare disciplines.

We fund research across our focus fields of energy and the environment, bio and healthcare, and materials and semiconductor. Our funding aims to empower research technical professionals as valued contributors to higher education science, encourage diverse new talent at the postgraduate level, and develop young innovators through postdoctoral fellowships.

We are currently supporting scholarships and research at the following institutions:
