- leave with a wealth of advice and tools around how to continue to be successful with funding applications
Who can apply?
- 30 places are available for female ECRs – Postdoctoral research associates and postdoctoral research fellows.
- Candidates must have a confirmed position at a university or institute within the UK and must be employed at this university/institute for the duration of the proposed project.
The event will be facilitated by:
