Dear all,
The EPSRC Energy Programme funded DecarboN8 Network Plus (https://decarbon8.org.uk/) is pleased to announce our next Seedcorn Funding Call.
This is a challenge-based call and will involve a multi-stage online sandpit process and engagement with DecarboN8 stakeholders. The aim of this is to support applicants to co-design high quality research projects which respond directly to real-world transport decarbonisation challenges in the North of England, building in local knowledge and resources.
Applications are encouraged for projects led by early career researchers and academics from groups that are under-represented in transport and climate related disciplines (for example, women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities).
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please register your interest by 5pm on Tuesday 19th January 2021.

For this round of seedcorn funding, a total of £250,000 (£200,000 at 80% fEC) is available. Proposals are invited for projects of up to 6 months duration.
As this is seedcorn funding, we do not anticipate funding a small number of very high value bids. Whilst we are not setting a maximum value, applicants should be aware that we expect to share the £250,000 between up to 5 projects.
Applications are encouraged for activities such as:
Exploratory research studies
Secondary data analysis
Comparative case study research
Inter-disciplinary activities such as workshops
Working with our regional partners we have identified a list of indicative topic areas, which align with our thematic priorities. The list is not prioritised in order of importance nor is it intended to be comprehensive or restrictive in nature and we actively encourage ideas in areas not listed. It is focussed on the core ideas of the DecarboN8 network around place-based decarbonisation. You can find out more at the full call for proposals page here: https://decarbon8.org.uk/funding/
Full call documentation is available on the DecarboN8 Website
Kind regards,
The DecarboN8 Team
