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

  1. Go to ukri.org.
  2. Find the "Subscribe to UKRI emails" section on the homepage.
  3. Select Subscribe.
  4. 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.
