GCRF Demonstrate Impact Competition Briefing - Event Round Up
KTN and Innovate UK will deliver a series of information briefing and partnership building events to support two competition rounds.
About the Fund
The Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) is a £1.5 billion fund announced by the UK Government in late 2015 to support cutting-edge research that addresses the challenges faced by developing countries.
GCRF consists of a series of calls designed to enhance the overall impact across strategic GCRF Challenge portfolios including:
- global health
- education
- sustainable cities
- conflict and displacement
- resilience
The Fund aims to reduce poverty by generating and putting into use knowledge and technology to address development challenges and advance development for the poorest people and countries. Demonstrate Impact funding in particular will support later-stage or closer to market projects that show excellent potential for transformative, positive change in the lives of people in and on the economies of lower and middle income countries (LMICs).
The upcoming briefing events will reveal the competitions context, aims & scope, along with application tips and networking opportunities.
