The Royal Academy of Engineering’s Green Future Fellowships offer climate innovators long-term support, with funding of up to £3 million over ten years and mentorship.
Funding and support
The maximum award is £3 million over a ten-year period. This is competitive fellowship funding, not a £3 million annual salary or a payment guaranteed to applicants.
Host organisation requirement
Applicants need a UK host organisation. Relocation is allowed, subject to the programme’s requirements. Read the official guidance to establish whether your proposed work, host arrangements and personal circumstances meet the eligibility conditions.
Current deadline
The 2026/2027 expression-of-interest round closes on 17 November 2026 at 4 p.m. GMT.
How to apply
- Visit the official Green Future Fellowships page.
- Read the expression-of-interest guidance for the 2026/2027 round.
- Check eligibility and the required host arrangements.
- Prepare the information requested for this application stage.
- Submit through the official route before the deadline.
Preparing your proposal
Explain the climate problem your work addresses and the contribution your proposed innovation could make. Distinguish demonstrated results from outcomes you still need to test. Build the application around the funder’s questions rather than relying on a generic business pitch.
An expression of interest is an application stage, not a funding award. Do not assume that submitting it confirms support or permission to commit expenditure.
