Join us as we launch the 2019 University of Nottingham Global Challenges Research Development Fund (GCRDF).
The Fund addresses global challenges through disciplinary and interdisciplinary research. It aims to strengthen capability for research and innovation within both the UK and developing countries and provide an agile response to emergencies and opportunities.
During the launch event, we’ll share the experience of awardees of the Interdisciplinary, Pilot and Networking grants from 2018. Attendees will hear details of how the fund has worked, the challenges of this type of funding and what the fund has enabled in the partnering country.
