The projects will receive £4.6 million each to develop design-based solutions to pressing ecological challenges, including recycling, housing and healthcare.
The funding is going to:
- a project from the GW4 Alliance of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter universities researching how to retrofit houses to improve energy efficiency
- a project led by the universities of Strathclyde and Dundee aiming to make the use of medical equipment more sustainable
- a project from a consortium led by Ulster University aiming to improve waste management in Northern Ireland
- a project from the University of Cambridge mapping the green transition in Anglesey
The £18.5 million Green Transition Ecosystem projects are the flagship investments of Future Observatory: Design the Green Transition.
