UKRI cross-research council responsive mode Round 2 2024

UKRI has now published the pre-announcement for Round 2 of the UKRI Cross-Research Council Responsive Mode call.

As with the previous round, UKRI is looking to fund breakthrough or disruptive interdisciplinary ideas that transcend, combine or significantly span disciplines that are not routinely funded through existing UKRI responsive mode schemes. Awards will be potentially transformative for the participating disciplines or lead to the creation of new disciplines.

However, in a key change from the previous iteration, there is now an element of demand management and the University of Glasgow is capped at twelve submissions. Important dates in the University process for demand management can be found below.
