LCEDN: Building International Collaborations in Low Carbon Energy
Building on the previous days discussions, this session explores the dynamics of several current research programmes involving collaborations between UK-based researchers and colleagues from across the world. The morning will involve presentations detailing the scope of current initiatives (e.g. UKRI-funded research and FCDO-funded programmes supported under the Ayrton Fund), the challenges of building longer-term research relationships and current funding schemes supporting international energy research collaborations. In the afternoon we will explore the potential of reinvigorating the LCEDN as a platform for supporting the building of long-term research relationships.
