Description
The Royal Academy of Engineering’s Green Future Fellowship supports academics, entrepreneurs and innovators to develop breakthrough climate solutions into scalable, commercially viable technologies. It funds practical innovations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or help the UK adapt sustainably to climate change, supporting progress towards the UK’s 2030 and 2035 decarbonisation targets.
The programme combines long-term funding with mentoring and bespoke support to help technologies reach widespread use. Innovations at every development stage are eligible, from basic principles and proof of concept through demonstration and application. Alongside the annual call, an Accelerated International Route offers exceptional non-UK-based researchers and innovators a faster application and review process to support relocation and climate innovation in the UK.
