Flexible Funding 2026
Flexible Funding, closing date 20th March 2026
We are once again opening a round of flexible funding. The application window opens 13 February, 2026 and closes on 20 March, 2026.
We are especially interested in funding activity that demonstrates a clear step-change for the applicants and has strong alignment with their fundamental research topics, which sit under the focus for N-ZEEE – net-zero enabling electrical engineering. The funds can cover accommodation, travel and subsistence for secondments, research visits, networking, as well as attendance at workshops, seminars and conferences.
Throughout this application window, we will be highlighting researchers on the N-ZEEE LinkedIn page that have been awarded funds, and the range of activities they have undertaken, as well as the knowledge they have garnered and shared with the rest of the network.
