Feral Robots: EPSRC peer review assessment

This morning we received our peer assessment on the Feral Robots project from the funder, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). We were delighted to learn that our 'overall assessment' was Tending to Outstanding, the second highest rating ('Outstanding' being the best), especially since the criteria for the assessment is focused on academic requirements and outputs rather than those of our own cultural/arts practice and community.

Of the seven criteria the project was assessed on (by three independent assessors unknown to us), the individual assessments were:

Outstanding
• Communication of Research Outputs

Tending to Outstanding
• Cost Effectiveness

Tending to Internationally Leading
• Research Quality
• Research Planning & Practice
• Potential Scientific Impact

Good
• Quality of Training & Experience
• Potential Benefits to Society
