As part of its new 2024-2029 strategy, LRF is calling for proposals that will help it enhance safety across three interconnected priority areas:
Safer maritime systems
Reducing and preventing harm for those working in growing maritime economies. Ensuring everyone across the maritime system is motivated to work together towards an ocean economy that keeps people safer on land and at sea.
Safer, sustainable infrastructure
Developing new technologies and methodologies that are used safely within broader engineering practices, without causing harm elsewhere. Ensuring critical infrastructure is resilient and fit for purpose to meet the changing needs of society and a changing climate.
Skilled people for safer engineering
Developing skills for safety, safety knowledge, leadership, and safer processes where they are most needed. Increasing the number and diversity of engineers, and those in engineering-related professions, especially in sectors and geographies where LRF can have the most impact.
Through this latest funding call, the Foundation aims to work together with organisations to make a difference in the places where improved safety is most needed. The Foundation is keen to scale its impact through being led by local voices, particularly in low and middle-income countries; building strong partnerships; commissioning new evidence and data to increase understanding of safety across the priority areas and leveraging resources from other like-minded organisations who share LRF's social purpose.
For your application to be considered as soon as possible, be sure to submit your proposal summary by Friday, January 10, 2025. The first invitations to submit a full proposal will be issued by January 31, 2025.
