Apply by 1700 UK time on 31 Jan 2016 for the Nexus Network Research Partnership Grants.
The Nexus Network has £300,000 available to support inter- and trans-disciplinary research projects on nexus themes. Projects should improve understanding of food-energy-water nexus interactions and support actions to improve their sustainability. Proposals are invited for funding of up to a maximum of £150,000 each and for projects of up to 12 months duration.
The call is open to researchers based at UK organisations that are eligible to receive Research Council funding and the lead applicant must be based at a UK institution. Collaborations between UK researchers and international partners are strongly encouraged.
We encourage people from business, policy and civil society to take part, however you will need a lead partner in an eligible UK academic institution. The Nexus Network team welcome approaches from UK and non-UK or business, policy and civil society organisations, with strong ideas for research, but who find themselves unable to find suitable UK academic partners.
For full details see the Research Partnership Grants page.
