Support the development of the Ceramics Industry Support Scheme (CISS)

The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST) is developing the Ceramics Industry Support Scheme (CISS), a grant funding intervention intended to support the UK ceramics sector to reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, improve productivity and strengthen long-term competitiveness.

BIST requires specialist support to inform the final design of the scheme and the development of an application and assessment process that is proportionate, evidence-based and accessible to businesses across the ceramics sector, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
