Reflections on the ACCESS Flexible Fund

Abstract

This document offers a set of reflections on setting up the ACCESS Flexible Fund. The aim of ACCESS is to advance the visibility, use and impact of the social sciences in addressing environmental problems. Our work programme is diverse, including capacity building, innovation, scoping activities and networking, underpinned by three guiding principles: knowledge co-production, sustainability and equality, diversity and inclusion. We aim to work reflexively across our five year programme, documenting learnings and sharing them as widely as possible across interdisciplinary social science communities in multiple sectors. This commentary on our Flex Fund is an example of that.
