The ACCESS Flex Fund has a total value of £1m and is a core element of the project. It aims to provide funding to test and develop new ways of thinking, new approaches and new networks that will advance the impact of the social sciences to address the transition to a sustainable and biodiverse environment and a net zero society.
We have run 3 rounds of the ACCESS Flex Fund:
9 projects ran from September 2023 for 9 to 12 months.
3 projects ran from Autumn 2024 for approx. 18 months.
2 projects running from September 2025 for 12 months.
Discover what lessons we learned from administering Rounds 1 & 2 of the Flex Fund.
We hope these insights will be useful to other organisations administering funds and also to future Flexible funds applicants. For more information please contact us.
