CENTS Launch Event Postponed
Due to the continued spread of COVID-19, the CENTS Management Team have taken the decision to postpone the launch event of our research network.
We are however carrying on with our delivery programme and our aims of (1) Building a community focused on the informed design and utilisation of circular technologies and processes within transportation systems, and (2) Delivering novel and effective solutions that combine academic creativity and industry insight.
On 31 March 2020, we will launch an exciting programme of network activities and funding opportunities.
These include our 1st CENTS Feasibility Studies Call, which will invite proposals for foresightful early stage research collaborations between academic and industry partners. In this round (the first of three), we will be looking to fund up to five projects of approx. £50,000 at full Economic Cost (fEC), with funding to be awarded at 80% fEC.
We will also provide mechanisms for you to contribute your ideas to the network, for example for our horizon scanning and roadmapping activities.
We look forward to working with you to build an innovative research programme and network of experts for the sustainable transport community.
