We will establish a new NetworkPlus based on a systems-level approach to bring about deeper collaboration between the UK and international terahertz communities, and act as a focal point for UK research in terahertz science, devices, systems and their applications. The potential benefits to the UK from the new collaborations will be substantial, ranging from fundamental science to commercially relevant applications with significant potential for economic and societal impact. Our NetworkPlus will complement existing research programmes, build UK capability and future leaders, and drive and facilitate multi-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange across research and stakeholder communities in the UK and internationally.
