Pre-Application Webinar, September 2024

On Thursday 5 September 2024, we hosted a pre-application webinar for IWT Challenge Fund, Round 11 applicants - this webinar was hosted twice to accommodate different time zones.

The webinars provided applicants interested in applying to Round 11 of the IWT Challenge Fund with an introduction to the fund. Other topics also covered during the webinar included:

• Key changes for this Round
• The role of the UK Embassies and British High Commissions
• An overview of the Round 11 application process 
• Key things to consider in a Stage 1 or Single Stage application
• An overview of the assessment criteria

The slides from this session can be accessed here.

The webinar was recorded and can be viewed below.

Please note the BCFs adjusted the terminology from ‘Gender Equality and Social Inclusion’ to ‘Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion’ in September 2026 to align terminology with wider Defra programming. While Disability Inclusion was previously considered to be included within Social Inclusion and should already have been a consideration, applicants and projects should be aware of this change.

The above webinar was held prior to the change in terminology and therefore refers to ‘Gender Equality and Social Inclusion’.
