New fund for research collaboration with Monash University
The Monash Warwick Alliance welcomes expressions of interest in the Alliance Co-Fund. Designed to empower Monash and Warwick researchers to develop strong and competitive joint external funding applications, the Co-Fund provides a contribution towards international research costs, incurred due to collaboration within the Alliance. The Co-Fund can be requested in support of a variety of external funding opportunities including challenge-led calls and responsive mode grants, offered by both domestic or international funders.
Expressions of Interest will be accepted and evaluated on a rolling basis, subject to availability of funds. The outcome of the Expressions of Interest will typically be communicated within two to four weeks of receipt by the Alliance Project Team.

Circular Economy Network+ in Transportation Systems: 2nd Call for Feasibility Studies
Feasibility study funding call
The CENTS research network invites proposals for collaborations between academic and industry partners that will enable cross-disciplinary, foresightful and risky early stage research. Applications involving Early Career Researchers (ECRs), and proposing interdisciplinary and cross sector research are particularly encouraged. The expectation is to fund up to four projects of up to a maximum value of £50,000 at full Economic Cost (fEC), with funding to be awarded at 80% fEC. Projects are expected to be approximately 6 months in length, and must complete before the end of Jan 2022.
Note to Early Career Applicants: Leading a CENTS project will not affect eligibility to the New Investigator Award scheme.
Fit with the CENTS Network
In this second round, we again welcome applications from a wide range of disciplines addressing circular economy challenges in transport that fall within our 5 Research Strands. We would also be interested in proposals that tackle some of the key challenges identified in our material requirement roadmapping survey and workshops.
For any queries, please get in touch with the CENTS Network Manager (Dr Rika Nair) by email circulartransport@warwick.ac.uk
Funding Opportunities now open to support International collaboration
The International Strategy and Relations Team is welcoming applications to three funds that initiate new projects or strengthen existing collaborations with our international partners.
International is a cornerstone of our University strategy. Our overarching aim is to make a positive contribution to the world and its complex challenges, growing our reputation as one of the world’s exceptional universities through global recognition of our research and education excellence.
How Warwick researchers are reusing materials for future construction
Every year, landfills around Europe receive around 50m tonnes of waste that is too large for facilities to recycle or process. More than half of all this waste is from plastic, textiles, wood and composites.
Learn about the research at Warwick and how we are reusing materials for future construction.
Join us also for a live lunch time session to learn more about this during City of Culture - Invention theme.
Week commencing 24th May 2021. More information to follow.

EUTOPIA Science and Innovation Fellowships
EUTOPIA-SIF aims to enhance the research potential and career perspectives of outstanding researchers from around the world. It will provide the opportunity for early-career researchers to develop their independent research and to undertake training. Fellows will be hosted by one of the EUTOPIA partner universities and will be offered extensive mobility opportunities within EUTOPIA and beyond.
The EUTOPIA Science and Innovation Fellowship Program (EUTOPIA-SIF) will fund 76 two-year fellowships over 4 calls and offers outstanding early career researchers an opportunity to develop their independent research profile and undertake training to help establish an academic career.
The programme offers an opportunity to bring outstanding early-career researchers to Warwick, as well as being an excellent opportunity for our own early career researchers to travel to one of the EUTOPIA partners and take a significant step towards establishing themselves in an academic role.
The EUTOPIA-SIF is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska Curie COFUND scheme (Grant agreement 945380) and is co-funded by the member universities of the EUTOPIA Alliance.
For full details of the calls and how to apply see the EUTOPIA-SIF website and the short guide. Further information is available in the Frequently Asked Questions or by emailing the IAS
