EDRC Flexible Fund

Discover EDRC Flexible Fund: driving interdisciplinary research, nurturing talent, and accelerating impact in energy demand.

EDRC Flexible Fund will enable an agile research programme that can adapt over time, provide responses to changing policy and add value with additional skills, datasets, networking, impact activities, building capacity and ensuring EDRC legacy.

Our aim is to support research that identifies evidence-based energy demand reductions for a sustainable and more equitable future. We are particularly keen to encourage new inter- and multi-disciplinary collaborations and to support the development of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in this area.

The EDRC Flexible Fund consists of six main funds, each with specific objectives and budgets.

Please note, the EDRC Flexible Fund is now on pause and will relaunch again in Autumn 2026 while we are responding to our mid-term review.
