Pre-announcement: UKRI systems approaches to advance the UK’s transition to Net Zero
Friday 26 Jan 2024
UKRI
Through this funding opportunity, UKRI aims to drive the realisation of a just, prosperous, sustainable and resilient Net Zero transition, removing barriers to delivery and supporting the reduction and mitigation of unintended consequences.
The objectives of the funding opportunity are to
- support up to two flagship five-year transdisciplinary research programmes in systems approaches to advance the UK’s transition to Net Zero, which have stakeholder engagement and co-creation at their core
- advance the UK’s transition to Net Zero through the increased use of systems approaches.
To maximise impact, co-creation and engagement with stakeholder and end users is expected to be embedded throughout the research programmes.
Success relies on collective action, and programmes should therefore consider involving a range of stakeholders from across industry, user groups, policy, the third sector and, where appropriate, the public.
Deadline: 26 March 2024
