The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) has launched a £1.5 million Whole Systems Networking Fund. Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the scheme aims to improve the diversity, communications and collaboration between whole-systems energy researchers and those engaged in more discipline-focused areas of research.

UKERC said: “The fund will help develop best practice around networking, encouraging better representation of UK capacity in whole-systems energy research, encourage fresh voices and foster new working relationships within the community.”
