Despite the increasing attention paid to interdisciplinarity and whole systems research within the RCUK energy research portfolio, the Scientific Advisory Committee has identified the need for further action to ensure that a whole systems approach is more clearly reflected in the portfolio as a whole. There is a need for those conducting detailed, specific research on a particular technology or within a particular discipline to take into account more fully how their research relates to the whole energy system. Equally, whole systems energy research could make better use of insights from more detailed research. Within this, there is a desire to provide greater opportunities for early career researchers to get involved, and to ensure that any activities to address this problem encourage diversity.This proposal for a Whole Systems Networking Fund has been developed to meet this need following a request to UKERC from the Research Councils. It has benefitted from consultation with senior energy academics funded by the RCUK energy programme.The Fund's activities will be delivered in three main phases over two years:1. An engagement phase. This will involve promoting the objectives of the networking fund to the research community, consulting them about potential themes, and laying the foundations for calls for proposals. This phase will also involve some activities led by the UKERC HQ team including a review of best practice on integration of specific and energy systems research; mentoring and training on research communication; and activities to improve the articulation between communities working on decision making tools and those working in more specific and specialist energy fields.2. A delivery phase that will involve a series of calls for small and large networking grant proposals. A steering group composed of leading researchers from across the energy research community will advise on the calls and on the selection of projects for funding. Clear criteria for funding will be developed and applied, with an emphasis on promoting inclusion, interdisciplinarity, innovation and impact. Once commissioned, these projects will be actively managed by UKERC's expended HQ team to ensure that they meet their objectives and maximise their impacts. 3. An analysis phase which will involve work to learn lessons from projects, to maximise the impact of the Fund as a whole, including through a final event for academic, policy, industry and other stakeholders.To deliver the Fund, the UKERC HQ team will be expanded with an additional two people to engage and advise the energy research community, and to ensure effective administration, management and communication of project activities. The governance of the Fund will be via a new Fund Committee comprising leading energy academics. A number of candidates have already agreed to serve on this committee.

尽管对RCUK能源研究组合中的跨学科和整个系统研究的关注越来越多，但科学咨询委员会已经确定需要采取进一步行动，以确保整个投资组合中更清楚地反映了整个系统方法。需要对特定技术或在特定学科内进行详细的特定研究的人，以更充分地考虑他们的研究与整个能源系统的关系。同样，整个系统能源研究可以更好地利用更详细的研究中的见解。在其中，人们希望为早期的职业研究人员提供更多机会参与其中，并确保任何解决此问题的活动都鼓励多样性。在研究委员会向UKERC的请求下，已经开发了整个系统网络基金的建议。它受益于与RCUK能源计划资助的高级能源学者的磋商。该基金的活动将在两年内以三个主要阶段进行：1。参与阶段。这将涉及将网络基金的目标促进研究社区，向他们咨询有关潜在主题的咨询，并为提案的呼吁奠定基础。此阶段还将涉及UKERC HQ团队领导的一些活动，包括对特定和能源系统研究整合的最佳实践的回顾；研究和培训研究交流；和活动，以改善从事决策工具的社区与在更具体和专业能源领域工作的社区之间的表达。2。交付阶段将涉及一系列大小网络赠款建议的呼吁。由来自整个能源研究界的主要研究人员组成的转向组将就呼叫和选择资金项目的选择建议。将开发和应用清晰的资金标准，重点是促进包容性，跨学科性，创新和影响。一旦受到委托，这些项目将由UKERC支出的总部团队积极管理，以确保他们符合目标并最大程度地发挥其影响。 3。分析阶段将涉及从项目中学习课程的工作，以最大程度地利用整个基金的影响，包括通过学术，政策，行业和其他利益相关者的最终活动。为了提供基金，UKERC HQ团队将与另外两个人进行扩展，以吸引和建议能源研究社区，并确保有效的项目，管理和管理项目活动。该基金的治理将通过一个由领先的能源学者组成的新基金委员会。许多候选人已经同意在该委员会任职。
