About the Flexible Funding Awards
The Supergen ORE Hub Flexible Funding Awards have been established to allow UK researchers to respond to several key offshore renewable energy engineering challenges and to support project areas that complement existing research, fill gaps, or add cross-cutting activities to explore the transfer of research findings between offshore renewable energy sectors. Find out more about previously funded projects.
All details regarding the Flexible Funding Call, including key dates, will be available on the Funding webpage when it launches in mid-July 2025. Make sure you're signed up to the Network Newsletter to stay informed.
Flexible Funding Brokerage Workshop
Wednesday 9 July 2025, 14.00 - 15.30
As part of the annual Flexible Funding call, we are holding an online brokerage event in order to share call details and facilitate industry-academia collaborations and develop high-quality submissions to the funding call.
During the workshop, you'll hear more details about the funding call, have a chance to ask questions and we'll hear from delegates about potential collaborations connecting research with industry challenges.
Facilitating industry-academia collaborations
A Miro board (an online whiteboard) has been created as a way for academics and industry representatives to share an outline of ideas/research needs as the basis for potential collaborative applications in the Flexible Funding call. This Miro board will remain open until the deadline for the Expressions of Interest period closes.
Access the Miro board and add your research idea/proposal.
