Scotland Beyond Net Zero Seed Funding

A new seed fund has been launched to support net zero research collaborations and partnerships across Scotland which maximise the impact of research and help drive solutions for beyond net zero in Scotland.

Applications to the fund should align with the priority Scotland Beyond Net Zero themes of food, finance, built environment, natural systems, energy and transport.

Projects submitted should involve collaboration and co-creation of research across at least two university participants in the seed fund and clear plans for engagement or partnership with at least one other organisation. 

Participating universities are University of Aberdeen, University of Dundee, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian University, Heriot-Watt University, University of St Andrews and University of Strathclyde.

Researchers from these universities are invited to apply for funding between £5 to £15k.

The seed fund is open until Friday 23 August 2024.
