Increasing Resilience to Natural Hazards in Earthquake-prone & Volcanic Regions
Programme timetable
NERC and ESRC would like to announce the indicative timing of some key dates for opportunities within the IRNH programme.
The timetable for key IRNH programme activities going forward is as follows:
- Consortium grant Announcement of Opportunity published: July/August 2011
- Town Meeting to discuss the Announcement of Opportunity and network for potential consortium groups: Tuesday 6 September 2011 in London
- Deadline for consortium bids: November 2011
- Awards announced: March 2012
The original theme action plan is currently being refined and further detailed by the programme Advisory Group to inform the scope of the main Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for consortium grants.
The Town Meeting will be an opportunity for interested members of the research community to meet, discuss the AO with the Advisory Group, members of the NERC & ESRC Programme Executive and to network with potential consortium grant collaborators and partners.
This information is provided in good faith to help researchers prepare to respond to the funding opportunities. However, plans are liable to change and timing cannot be guaranteed until formal announcements are issued and proposals invited.
