Network+ Heating & Cooling Flexible Funding Sandpit 15/16th August 2024
About this Event

Researchers active in the field of Heating and Cooling Decarbonisation are invited to attend a 2 day Sandpit to develop research ideas suitable for receiving Network+ flexible funding.

This call aims to foster new collaborations between researchers who have not previously worked together on a project.

Register your interest

The first step in this process is to register your interest in joining a cohort of researchers keen on forming new collaborations around the topic of the Decarbonisation of Heating and Cooling. Please complete the online form by 16:00 (GMT) on 19th July 2024

When registering your interest, there are 2 ways to be involved.

1. As a project lead – in which case you are invited to submit a project idea

2. As a collaborator on a project

Note that we are seeking to fund areas of research that have not received previous funds from the Network. Al list of previous research projects is provided within the attached call guidance

Sandpit event

All project ideas will be reviewed and a shortlist of projects to be ‘pitched’ at a sandpit event on the 15th and 16th August 2024 at Durham University.

The sandpit event will be split into 3 parts.

15th August

1. Pitching and Voting: The morning will be dedicated to the pitching of project ideas. These pitches will be voted on by attendees and the successful proposals will move forward to be further developed in the afternoon. At this stage, it is considered that all successful pitches are suitable for funding.

2. Project development: In the afternoon attendees will be supported to co-develop project teams and shape the pitches into projects which can be delivered over 6 months.

16th August

3. Project Awards – In the morning final project ideas will be presented to a panel of judges who will choose two projects to fund.
