The ChiCI group are delighted to report the successful award of an EPSRC 3 year grant to investigate energy use with teenagers. This grant, totalling £1.5M for which UCLan has a £320K share is across five universities (Birmingham, Swansea, Northumbria and IoE) and the ChiCI group are leading the bid which makes the award even more significant.
The grant is the result of a collaboration and thinking / working process that began last July and has probably taken up in the region of 40 person days. Much of the hard work was done between Christmas and New Year when most of you were resting... during a mad 10 days over that time, all the members of the ChiCI team were standing by mobile phones, and emailing back and forth documents. It was a great team effort.
