GW4 Building Communities Programme Generator Fund
Academic Staff, Early Career Researchers
The GW4 Generator Fund is an open research call offering up to £20K to support collaborative research and innovation communities across the four GW4 universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter.
This initiative supports both the creation of new GW4 communities and the development of the strongest ideas emerging from our existing communities. Applications across all areas of research and innovation are invited. Applications from Early Career Research (ECR) communities are particularly welcome and supported. Generator funding can be used as a stand-alone award or, in conjunction with other sources of funding. Communities are encouraged to use the scheme as a step towards applying for external funding.
Applications for the 2025/26 Generator Fund will open in November 2025.
