C-DICE Networking Grants

The Centre for Postdoctoral Development in Infrastructure, Cities and Energy (C-DICE) is pleased to announce an open call for short-term (up to 4 weeks in duration) networking grants, with the aim of facilitating short placement opportunities and collaborations to benefit C-DICE postdoctoral researchers. These collaboration awards are an opportunity for Postdoctoral and Early Career Researchers to engage with the C-DICE network, which brings together 18 higher education institutions (HEIs) from across the Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) and the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC).

Themes

The overarching goal of C-DICE is to accelerate progress towards a net-zero society by 2050 by building and sustaining the advanced skills base required to create a pipeline of world-class talent for the Infrastructure, Cities and Energy (IC&E) sectors. Proposals that address this challenge should include one or more of the following:

  • Research in infrastructure, cities and/or energy
  • Research using UKCRIC and ERA facilities
  • Knowledge exchange between collaborating C-DICE HEIs
  • Networking benefits for Postdoctoral and Early Career Researchers (PD&ECRs)
