Ecosystem Transitions and Economic Resilience Research Grants

This co-funded grant opportunity from NERC and Defra supports interdisciplinary research exploring how ecosystems change and impact economic prosperity, security, and resilience. Projects address three key research themes: predicting ecosystem changes, understanding cascading risks across systems, and building resilience to transitions and collapse. Funding up to £2.5 million is available for three-year projects that generate evidence on ecosystem reorganisation and its economic and security implications. Researchers from multiple disciplines are encouraged to apply with innovative approaches to understanding and managing ecosystem transitions in the face of environmental challenges.
