The British Academy’s policy team is building up its net zero policy programme to use the SHAPE disciplines to address the question: how well do net zero policies address the challenges facing the economy and society in the UK? In doing so we aim to contribute to policy outcomes that deliver on commitments to net zero in the UK. We are inviting proposals from a research team led by a Principal Investigator (PI) to use a cross-temporal, multi-scalar approach to address three specific challenges.

The British Academy with Cara (the Council for At-Risk Academics) is establishing a Researchers at Risk Fellowships Programme with the support of the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society. The Fellowships will cover the natural sciences, medical sciences, engineering, humanities and social sciences with applications made via UK-based institutions.

The Leverhulme Trust is providing funding of £1,000,000 over five years targeted at providing research support for researchers at risk. Grants are available to support research project activities for eligible researchers in all disciplines except medical and health sciences.

This programme aims to identify lessons learned and lessons to learn from the experience within G7 countries of preparing for, adapting and responding to COVID-19 for future pandemic preparedness.

The International Fellowships Programme enables researchers to work for three years at a UK institution with the aim of building a globally connected, mobile research and innovation workforce.
