Flexible Funding Series – Scoping a call on land use
The Supergen Bioenergy Hub will be launching a call for proposals for two Flexible Funding projects worth £100,000 each at the end of September/October this year, one of which will target Global Land Use Change.
This webinar is being held on 9 September 2020 at 14:30-16:00 BST, prior to the call launch, to scope the focus of the call in the area of Land Use and Land Use Change. Presentations and discussions will then be used to help scope the Flexible Funding Call priorities.
