Funding Opportunity: Oil & Gas Decommissioning
Closing date: 3 December 2015 (16:00)

As part of the Oil and Gas Innovation Programme, NERC invites applications for an Innovation funding call focusing on decommissioning and its environmental management. NERC will invest up to £1m in a cohort of projects lasting six to 12 months which translate existing NERC-remit science in the following theme areas:

• Development of baselines (proxies) and innovative monitoring techniques and approaches
• Data management, sharing, access and collaboration
• Impact of man-made structures on the natural environment and options for decommissioning
• Innovative options for alternative use or extending the life of structures

All costs will be funded at 80% Full Economic Cost (FEC).
New end-user project partners have been added to the potential project partner document.
