Solutions in Developing Countries
Closing date:
12:00 on 28 September 2012
Issue date:
14 August 2012
Return form to:
EnergyInternationalDevelopment@epsrc.ac.uk
Category:
Expression of interest
Related theme:
Energy
Summary
EPSRC is leading a call on behalf of the RCUK Energy Programme in
collaboration with the Department for International Development (DFID)
and the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and invites
expressions of interest from organisations (based in either developing
countries or the UK) who wish to bid under a major new research call
on understanding sustainable energy solutions in developing countries.
Successful applicants will be invited to take part in a short
development workshop to refine the priority research challenges around
energy in the context of international development and help facilitate
collaborative bids. This workshop will be held from 12-14 December in
Nairobi, Kenya. The outputs of this workshop will be outline proposals
that will undergo peer review immediately following the workshop, the
successful outlines will then be invited to submit full proposals.
Only attendees present at the development workshop (and those they are
representing) will be eligible to submit full proposals to this call.

Utah State University, Logan, Utah, USA The Conference will examine how the boom in energy development occurring in many parts of the West is affecting or may affect the well-being of plant and animal species found in the region. From sage grouse to the hookless cactus to shrubby reed-mustard, many creatures that are rare or uncommon are under increased pressure, or will be, as energy resources are developed. We invite biologists, land managers and owners, energy development firms, and students to come together to talk about which plants and animals are at risk, how energy development affects these creatures, and how we might mitigate these effects to maintain biodiversity and promote responsible energy development. There will be plenary sessions on both days and a poster session Tuesday afternoon. Poster submissions are requested.
