Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, today launches its Catalyst Grant round for 2025 to support innovative tech ideas.
Now in its 15th year, the theme for Digital Science’s 2025 Catalyst Grant is: Data visualization.
Up to £25,000 will be awarded to individuals or startups for their technology-driven ideas. The deadline to apply is Monday 6 October 2025.
Steve Scott, Director of Portfolio Development at Digital Science, said: “With the rapid growth of AI, data science, and open research, visualization is emerging as a vital tool to aid research impact. In today’s data-rich, attention-poor world, how we understand and communicate data is just as important as what the data says.
“This year, the Digital Science Catalyst Grant challenges innovators to push the boundaries of data visualization, not just as a communication tool, but as a driver for prediction, insight, and action.
“We want to ‘see the future’ through data; we want visualizations to be used as a process for discovery. To do this, we’re looking for game-changers who are turning raw data into intuitive stories, elegant dashboards, and predictive visuals that empower researchers, institutions, funders, and decision-makers alike.”
