The third and final academic-led funding call under the Aviation Non-CO2 Programme opens on 18th June, with a closing date of 8th September. Projects must begin by no later than 1st February 2027 and last for no more than 14 months with full details available on the UKRI Funding Finder.
The Aviation Non-CO2 Programme is managed in partnership with Department for Transport (DfT) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The ATI’s Non-CO2 Programme forms the industrial arm which focuses primarily on industrial research, technology development, and enabling technologies.
Improving the fundamental science behind non-CO2 emissions through the NERC-led programme will not only underpin the development of more sustainable aerospace technologies, but also drive the adoption of better fuels and new operational measures. This understanding will also shape the development of next generation aerospace technologies at a critical time as the use of new sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) increases and the sector advances novel propulsion systems including hydrogen combustion.
