About

Neumat is an EPSRC-funded network dedicated to supporting and uniting UK researchers, industry professionals, and early-career innovators who are working on neuromorphic technologies for advanced, novel, energy-efficient AI hardware. Our aim is to foster collaboration, provide networking opportunities, and offer resources that help drive breakthroughs in neuromorphic materials, devices, algorithms, circuits and systems.

Objectives

Our Aims & How We Support Research

Community Building & Collaboration

  • Unite diverse expertise (materials, devices, circuits, novel AI/neuromorphic algorithms).
  • Grow a supportive environment for idea exchange and new partnerships.

Industry & Academic Engagement

  • Facilitate dialogue between university labs and industrial stakeholders.
  • Encourage new prototypes and potential spin-outs (via shared insights)

Knowledge & Skill Development

  • Organize training, workshops, and internships to upskill early-career researchers.
  • Provide resources (webinars, online materials) for continuous learning.

Roadmapping & Strategy

  • Build a strategic roadmap identifying future challenges and directions in neuromorphic hardware.
  • Collate community input to guide future funding proposals and collaborative projects.
