果冻影院 Strategic Partner Funds 2020/21
14 October 2020
This autumn, the Global Engagement Office launched 10 funding streams with partner institutions to support international collaborations
The Global Engagement Office (GEO) is delighted聽to launch the 果冻影院 Strategic Partner Funds 2020-21, a聽series of seed funding streams to help 果冻影院 academics collaborate with colleagues at partner institutions around the world.
The scheme was designed to bring together different perspectives to speed up the process of discovery, leading to quicker solutions to pressing world problems. This year, many of the funding streams invite projects aimed at addressing COVID-19 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Applicants are encouraged to explore methods of remote collaboration. Some examples of how last year's recipients of global engagement funding have been adapting their projects during COVID-19 include holding meetings and events online, employing on-the-ground researchers and, where in-person meetings are essential, reducing the number of on-site participants in research groups and introducing social distancing and strict hygiene measures.
