This activity is designed to directly address the low number of PIs applying from under-represented backgrounds to EPSRC’s Energy programme. The call funded small (£60k) collaborative proof of concept research projects, designed to result in larger multi-partner EPSRC grant submissions under the Energy Programme. Project teams were supported through delivery of a preceding sandpit workshop. Participants were required to be from an underrepresented background. Progress of the pilot projects will be monitored over the award period: including journal paper production and grant applications/awards.

This call has now closed. We are delighted to announce four exciting projects from the IGNITE Network+ flexible fund FA1 Increasing the number of PIs/PLs Find out about the funded projects.
