The deadline application is: 26 January 2018 with up to £3 million of funding is available through this call. A minimum value of £500,000 of funding can be applied for. Low carbon projects are eligible for priority 1 funding subject to their fit with innovation, in particular the market driven priorities of next generation transport, smart energy storage and systems and sustainable construction identified by the recent WM Science and Innovation Audit. There is no December call in GBSLEP for Priority 4 (low carbon) as most of the money has now been, or could be, allocated against this priority, but priority 1 still provides prospective applicants with an opportunity to develop low carbon, innovative projects.’ To apply for funding under this call you will need to complete and send the Outline Application form to the email address provided in the call document. The guidance provides information to help you complete the form. The form and guidance can be found here. More information around the application process.
