Glasgow Knowledge Exchange Fund
The Glasgow Knowledge Exchange Fund (GKEF) is an internal investment fund established by the University of Glasgow to support staff to deliver a wide range of knowledge exchange activities that strengthen relationships with non-academic partners and maximise the potential for research impact in any sector.
Since 2012 the GKEF has enabled researchers to pursue impactful projects in partnership with non-academic organisations including businesses, charities, third sector, and public services across the world and many within Glasgow.
For the GKEF Autumn 2025 round of funding we will be accepting applications referred from IAA. You should apply to IAA for funding via the relevant Impact Acceleration Account. We are not accepting direct applications to GKEF for this round.
You should contact the team from the IAA closest to your research area and discuss a possible application to IAA with them first. Strong applications that are unsuccessful in the IAA funding call can be referred for application to GKEF.
