HI-ACT Global Impact Fund

HI-ACT Global Impact Fund

This flexible fund is for enabling the HI-ACT community to attend events that will raise HI-ACT’s global profile. The funding can support international visits, hosting of researchers, or short-term collaborations of up to two weeks. Projects should focus on joint research, skills development, and outputs that contribute to HI-ACT’s mission.

 

Researchers within the HI-ACT consortium and external collaborators may apply. Applicants must demonstrate alignment with HI-ACT’s objectives and ensure that activities are consistent with UKRI funding rules.

 

Applications will be limited to a value of £15,000.

This is a rolling call meaning you may apply at any time. We will also have a formal call for applications in November 2025.

 

 

Who can apply?

This call is open to those within the HI-ACT consortium, and external collaborators. Standard UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) eligibility rules apply and ‘Terms and Conditions’ of the overall Grant will be flowed down to activities outlined in our HI-ACT Global Impact Flexible Fund document.
