UKRI Preannouncement: modelling UK supply chains as complex systems for resilience
Apply for funding for a Network Plus to model UK supply chains as complex systems to strengthen resilience. The Network must have a focus on cascading risks in food, critical minerals, and fashion and use data-led and conceptual modelling to inform policy and practice.
One 4-year interdisciplinary Network Plus will be funded by UKRI (£5 million available at 80% FEC).
Through this Network Plus you are expected to:
- use data led and conceptual modelling approaches to generate insights into how to strengthen the resilience of supply chains in the UK
- build new interdisciplinary capability
- actively engage and coordinate a broad set of stakeholders to enable a coherent and connected landscape on resilient supply chains
- inform policy, practice, and public understanding
The full economic cost of your Network can be up to £6.25 million. UKRI will fund 80% of the full economic cost (or £5 million).
The Network can be led by any discipline in collaboration with government, business and the third sector. You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for ESRC funding, which will administer the Network.
Your Network should start on 1 April 2024 and run until 31 March 2028.
