<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>With the recent publication of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on the impacts of global warming on health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human security and economic growth, the pressing need to act to create real solutions has never been so clear.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Current UK Government policy supports the objectives of the COP26 UN Climate change conference, and its sustainability policy commitments are predicted to increase. As such a number of new sustainability-related funding opportunities are likely to arise in the coming months.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Anticipating the announcement of these opportunities, we are inviting companies developing innovative sustainable technologies, researchers (from the universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Southampton, and Surrey) and consortia (comprised of companies &amp; researchers) to apply for support to develop R&amp;D proposals for funding calls.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In order to support you to submit the most compelling bid possible with the best chance of success, we can provide the following:</p>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
 	<li>if you are a business and don’t already have an academic partner, we can help identify the missing expertise to deliver a successful project by linking you with considerable research expertise of our Partner Universities to form a partnership to collaborate on the bid</li>
 	<li>a wealth of expertise and experience of crafting bids for major funding calls – we can review your bid, identify gaps and make suggestions for improvements – essentially acting as a ‘critical friend’</li>
 	<li>professional bid consultant’s time can be allocated to improve the bid.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">We've identified some key Government funding calls, listed below, for which we can provide support. So if you are considering a bid to any of these funding calls now is the time to apply for this support to boost your chances of success.</p>
