New funding opportunities are now available through the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) in response to COVID-19.
Grants of £10K for collaborative projects that focus on research challenges related to the present pandemic, and are urgent and of the moment, have been offered by WUN to support us in the COVID-19 response. Proposals are welcome this month and up until the deadline of 15 May 2020. They will be reviewed on a rolling basis, which would indicate an earlier submission could have more chance of success than a later one.
The project proposals must include at least two other WUN partners and indicate that there is indeed a benefit from collaboration among WUN partners (to capitalise on the geographical and cultural diversity of the network).
Please contact Maria Norton ([email protected]) and copy in [email protected] for the application template and any support or connection facilitation with WUN. The International Partnerships team would be delighted to assist in capturing some of these funds for our researchers to develop further international collaboration.
