Decision details
Acceptance of Horizon Europe funding
Decision Maker: Executive Director: Growth and Regeneration
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The submission of the funding call was signed
off by the Executive Director, Growth and Regeneration, and the
cabinet member for Transport. The decision required for sign off
for the grant agreement to be signed is to allow for funding to be
released and for the project to progress.
Decision:
Bristol has been successful, as part of a
consortium led by the Austrian Institute of Technology, in a bid to
receive funding which will be used to bring added data monitoring
and capacity building for public engagement and participation for
the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood Pilot. The proposal to
submit the bid was taken by the Executive Director, Growth and
Regeneration (1st March 2022) prior to submission. The Executive
Director, Growth and Regeneration has now agreed for the grant
agreement to be signed to enable Bristol City Council to accept the
funding of ~£290k to participate in the project over 3 years.
The signing will be by a nominated Bristol City Council
representative.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - The only alternative option is for
Bristol City Council to not sign the grant agreement which means we
will not participate in the project and gain the funding. This will
also affect the participation and funding of the other Bristol
partners, UWE, and Knowle West Media Centre worth an additional
~£600k to Bristol and would also damage our reputational risk
as a partner for future projects.
