NetDRIVE Second Funding Call

The UKRI Net-Zero Digital Research Infrastructure Vision and Expertise (NetDRIVE) project will fund community activities through three calls. This call, the second, will fund projects up to a total value of £1m. Of that, £200k is reserved for projects led by early career investigators.

We are also announcing funding for three champions, one in the area of community change and two dedicated for early career stages. Our initial call led to the appointment of eight champions.  

Larger projects (£50k upwards) should address at least one topic fully, smaller projects (e.g. hackathons, desk research) may address parts of a topic.  

Projects addressing issues outside the topic list may be considered, but applicants must demonstrate a clear contribution to at least two of the three NetDRIVE objectives: immediate progress towards net zero DRI, enhancing community confidence in the roadmap to net zero DRI, and international leadership. 

Topics and champion roles are categorised as “open” if no career stage restrictions apply and Early Career when they must be led by an early career investigator. 

Please see the links below for full guidance on the call, frequently asked questions, as well as templates for applicants to complete and submit their applications.

We have scheduled two drop-in sessions to share more information about the funding call and to allow people to ask questions. Online meetings will be held on:

  • Friday 12 September 11:00-12:00

If you are interested in joining one of the drop-in sessions, please contact us at netdriveoxford@gmail.com and we will share the session link with you.
