1. NEW: Report Highlights Pathways for Energy and Mobility Transitions in the EU: https://www.ukro.ac.uk/news/report-highlights-pathways-for-energy-and-mobility-transitions-in-the-eu/
An independent report titled Addressing European Research and Innovation Challenges for System Transitions in Energy and Mobility was recently released, offering expert recommendations for advancing clean energy and mobility in the context of European research and innovation (R&I). The report envisions future systems in line with the EU’s social, economic and environmental objectives, including becoming climate-neutral by 2050.
2. European Research Council (ERC) announces the results of the 2024 call for Synergy Grants: https://erc.europa.eu/news-events/news/erc-2024-synergy-grants-results
ERC Synergy Grants address ambitious research questions that can only be answered by the coordinated work of a small group of two to four principal Investigators (PIs). This will facilitate the bringing together of complementary skills, knowledge and resources in new and unconventional ways, with the aims to promote substantial advances at the frontiers of knowledge, cross-fertilise scientific fields, and encourage new productive lines of enquiry and new methods and techniques. Awards may be made up to a maximum of €10 million for a period of six years, with an additional €4 million available to cover start-up costs for moving abroad, major equipment, access to large facilities, and fieldwork costs. Applications may be made in any field of research, and proposals that cross disciplinary boundaries, pioneering ideas that address new and emerging fields and applications that introduce unconventional, innovative approaches are particularly encouraged. A total of 548 proposals were submitted in the 2024 round of funding, of which 57 were selected for funding, receiving a share of €571 million.
Many congratulations to Prof Tracy Palmer of Newcastle University who, together with colleagues in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, has received one of the awards for their project “Central roles of mycobacterial type VII secretion systems in intra- and inter-kingdom warfare”.

6. NEW: British Academy Horizon Europe Pump Priming Funding: https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/Horizon-Europe-Pump-Priming-Collaboration-between-UK-and-EU-Partners/
Principal Investigators (PIs) at universities and research institutions can apply for a grant of up to £10,000 to help them in their preparations for submitting a Horizon Europe proposal for Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe – Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness. The ambition is to support the effective uptake of the opportunities provided by the UK’s association to Horizon Europe.

The expectation is that the funding will be utilised in a variety of ways but could include feasibility studies, application advice and training, partnership building, and dedicated resource to take forward an application. Proposals are welcome in all disciplines, including engineering, natural sciences, medical and health sciences, humanities, and social sciences. The British Academy is holding a series of webinars providing further information about the opportunity and details of how to apply. Applicants can register to attend the webinars online, which will be held on the following dates: 19 November 2024, 14:00-15:00; 8 January 2025, 14:00-15:00; 5 February 2025, 14:00-15:00.

Project Initiation Form (PIF): https://www.cognitoforms.com/NewcastleUniversity1/NewcastleUniversityNuTHProjectInitiationFormV2
If you’re in the process of developing a research proposal please ensure you submit a PIF as soon as possible. The PIF is not just a mechanism to initiate a costing, it enables the research support team to identify and engage on your behalf the varying types of research and business support beneficial to your bid. Please note you don’t need to define all resources required before engaging with the team. To maximise the support available to you, PIF submission is advised at your earliest convenience.
