The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Caucus (EDICa) (funded by UKRI and the British Academy) is looking to fund approximately 5-6 projects (total budget of around £300-350K) through the third round of its Flexible fund (awards are made at 80% FEC).

The theme of the call is the organisation of work/enabling workspaces in the UK’s research and innovation ecosystem.

To be eligible to apply you must submit an Expression of Interest (very short form) by 30 September 2024.

The deadline for applications is 31 October 2024.

We are especially keen to seek interest and applications from a range of groups who are under-represented in successful grant applications from such associated funding bodies (a full list of what that entails can be accessed from the link above).

More general details of what EDICa is about and aiming to achieve can be found here.

If you have any questions and queries about this call, and not addressed by the EDICa website, please in the first instance email: edicaucus@hw.ac.uk

There will be two webinars (the second will be a repeat of the first) in the coming weeks to find out more, as well as ask questions, etc.

The webinars are yet to be fully confirmed, but we expect them to be: Wednesday, 21 August (11.00 to 12.00) and Tuesday, 10 September (14.00 to 15.00) – both UK time and will be on Zoom and recorded.
