Don’t miss our largest and last-ever Networking Grant Fund
16 July at 4pm is the deadline to apply for our final round of C-DICE Networking Grants – and it’s the biggest fund we’ve ever allocated! Networking Grants of up to £1k (UK travel) and up to £3k (international travel) are open to postdocs and final-year PhD students.

Sprint in India to solve plastic waste – pitch for £5k
Join our international ECR Networking Sprint on 23–24 September at Symbiosis International University, Pune. Collaborate on circular solutions to India’s plastic waste crisis and pitch for £5,000 seed funding. UK travel and accommodation covered. UK applications close on 31 July at midday.

C-DICE networking sprints can kickstart impactful new ventures!
We’re thrilled to celebrate the launch of the NetZero Digital Twin Alliance – a cross-sector network advancing sustainable digital transformation. Born from our February 2025 UK Sprint, the initiative began when researchers from Aston, Herriot Watt, and Cranfield joined forces to pitch their winning proposal and secure £5k in seed funding.

Workshops all Summer long
Our exciting programme of workshops continues throughout the summer, including two in-person highlights: How to Design a Workshop at the University of Birmingham, and a special Knowledge Exchange Live Lab with Code Switch Consultants at Loughborough University – where you’ll collaborate with peers and industry experts on a live net zero challenge. We look forward to welcoming you online and, hopefully, in person too!
