22/09/2009: Adapting Rural Living and Land Use to Environmental Change: Call for Proposals

The Rural Economy and Land Use Programme (RELU), with additional funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), invites applications under a fourth call on the theme of "Adapting rural living and land use to environmental change". This RELU call has been codesigned with the Living With Environmental Change programme

The call has two objectives. The first objective is to build networks and capacity for creative knowledge exchange and learning between researchers and policy makers, businesses, practitioners, local communities and the wider public, with a view to strengthening adaptive capacities, primarily within the UK. The second objective is to explore and promote novel approaches and partnerships for interdisciplinary research and analysis on living with environmental change in rural contexts.

The call specification document and further guidance are available at http://www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/opportunities/current_funding_oppor...

Deadline for applications: 4pm 28th October 2009.
