UCC Green Campus Living Laboratory Fund

Which of the following best describes the primary source of funding for the sustainability projects fund?:
Department driven

Year the institution’s sustainability projects fund was established:
2,019

A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:

The UCC Green Campus Living Laboratory Seed Fund will support two types of projects:
1. Research Masters projects (including fees, stipend of €18,500 and associated costs, up to a
maximum of €28,000). Up to one research masters project will be funded in this round. Due to budget constraints, the masters research must be completed within one year of the project start date. It is expected that the masters would be interdisciplinary in nature.
2. Demonstration projects up to the value of €10,000. The number of demonstration projects awarded will depend on total value of successful projects. A value for money approach will be taken in determining which projects get funded. An element of learning and/or research must be included in these projects and awardees will be required to complete a case study at the end of the project.


A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:

The chairs of the University's Green Forum make the decision on what projects will be funded.
