The QUENCH Network Projects

As part of the initial QUENCH collaborative workshops in early 2022, the network has awarded five pump-priming grants. This funding will support interdisciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners to take forwards collaborative projects that look to address the QUENCH key questions, as well as build further capacity to develop interdisciplinary and cross-sector research in this area.
