ERA / C-DICE Community Fund open for applications

Do you have a brilliant idea for an event focused on energy or net-zero? The Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) / C-DICE Community Fund is here to help make it happen!

The fund provides financial support for the design, development, and delivery of events focused on energy and/or net-zero themes.

Doctoral and post-doctoral researchers from across the ERA partnership are invited to apply for up to £2,500 of funding to support delivery of their own event. In addition to funding, successful applicants will receive training and mentoring to ensure that their event is a success and that they gain valuable experience in event management, leadership, and researcher development.
