How to Subscribe to UKRI Emails and Stay Updated
Updated
You can subscribe to UKRI emails directly from ukri.org to receive funding updates, news, events, and a weekly newsletter. This is the right route if you are a researcher, institution, or anyone tracking UK research and innovation and want updates delivered rather than checking the site manually.
What the subscription covers
UKRI's own description of the subscription is specific: it keeps you up to date with funding, news and events, and includes a weekly newsletter. That makes it useful for two different jobs:
- Finding money — new research and innovation funding opportunities.
- Following the sector — announcements such as the £80m dementia diagnosis challenge, council appointments, and research results from bodies like MRC and STFC.
How to subscribe
- Go to ukri.org.
- Find the "Subscribe to UKRI emails" section on the homepage.
- Select Subscribe.
- Complete the sign-up form and confirm your email address if prompted.
Expected result: you begin receiving UKRI funding, news, and event emails, including the weekly newsletter.
Who should use this
| If you are… | The subscription helps you… |
|---|---|
| A researcher or research group | Catch funding calls before deadlines |
| A university or research organisation | Track announcements affecting your sector |
| A business working with Innovate UK | Follow innovation funding and news |
| A journalist or policy watcher | Monitor UKRI news and strategy updates |
If you only want funding, not general news
The homepage also links to "Future research and innovation funding opportunities." If your priority is funding rather than a mixed newsletter, check that page alongside the email subscription so you are not relying on email timing alone.
Common snags
- No pricing is stated on the page. The subscription is presented as an email sign-up; the page does not describe paid tiers, so do not assume anything about cost either way.
- The page invites feedback on UKRI's online products and services, so if the sign-up form behaves unexpectedly, that feedback route exists.
- Email is not the only channel. UKRI's News section carries dated articles and a "View all news" link, useful when you want the full record rather than a digest.
A practical routine
Subscribe once, then treat the weekly newsletter as a prompt: when a funding item appears, go to the funding opportunities page for the full call details before acting. That way the email does the alerting and the website does the detail.
