The Carbon Recycling Network, supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, invites applications for its business interaction vouchers. These support collaboration between academic partners and industrial partners within the Carbon Recycling Network framework. The vouchers support a defined piece of work by the academic partner for or with the industrial partner. Vouchers are worth up to £20,000 each for up to six months. The industrial partner is expected to at least match the value of the awarded voucher, either through a cash or in-kind contribution.

New collaborations and collaborations aiming to move research up the technology readiness levels will be prioritised.
