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:
The HORIBA Foundation UK is the philanthropic arm of HORIBA UK Limited, and forms part of HORIBA’s wider corporate and social responsibility activities within the United Kingdom.
Enquiries about the HORIBA Foundation UK can be addressed to foundation.uk@horiba.com. Please note, the Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests or grant proposals. All funds are distributed through partner institutes or via specific funding calls which will be advertised on these web pages.
We are delighted that the HORIBA Foundation UK is supporting students at Aston University. Through the HORIBA Scholarship, the Foundation is giving students much-needed practical support, but also a vote of confidence in their potential. The Scholarship is open to undergraduate STEM and healthcare students, widening access in those disciplines. It has a long-lasting impact, allowing scholars to focus solely on their education at the most critical stages of their studies.
At postgraduate level, we're thrilled that the Foundation supports the First-Generation Doctoral Success Fund, which provides opportunities for PhD students who are first in their family to attend university, helping them to succeed. These students will become research leaders, solving the many challenges we face in society, the environment and technology, while inspiring others and serving as role models for the next generation.
We're extremely grateful to the HORIBA Foundation UK for their support and commitment to the next generation of scientists.
