Royal Academy of Engineering launches Green Future Fellowships
The Royal Academy of Engineering has launched its Green Future Fellowships programme, an initiative that will fund commercial and scalable solutions to the climate crisis.
It will award £150m over the next five years to 50 of the best ideas and technologies essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and for adapting to the impacts of climate change.
RAEng said the Green Future Fellowships will provide engineers, innovators, scientists, and researchers with the funding, capacity and tailored support to transform their ideas and existing initiatives into engineering solutions.
At least 50 fellows (ten a year for five years) will receive up to £3m each to develop and scale their ideas for up to a decade.
In a statement, Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, CEO of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said: “The climate and sustainability crisis is the challenge of our generation, requiring era-defining solutions to be developed and deployed at scale and with urgency.
“The Green Future Fellowships programme provides a new opportunity to do just that, providing the flexible, long-term support required to accelerate scalable and commercially viable climate innovations at all stages of development.”
