Here at King’s, we recognise the importance of creating new knowledge around the climate crisis. That’s why we’re working to support environmental research across multiple disciplines to create a more sustainable future.

Our Climate & Sustainability Seed Fund helps staff secure external research and innovation funds by providing an initial resource to develop preliminary studies and partnerships, as well as linking projects with support from Research Development Managers.

The fund supports two types of proposals:

  • Smaller awards of £15,000 to £60,000 for focused developments, especially in the early rounds (typically 6-12 months);

  • Larger awards of £60,000 to £125,000, to develop well-defined opportunities to apply for major awards, important partnerships or centre-type grants (6-18 months).

Round 4 of the Seed Fund is now closed. Please see below the dates for future calls.
