The University of Manchester Research Institute (UMRI) Board has announced a funding opportunity to accelerate the development of new cross discipline partnerships through the funding of interdisciplinary research placements for early career researchers.
Examples of activities that can be supported include, but are not limited to:
- Embedding researchers for a period of time in a division/department outside of their own discipline area.
- Work shadowing in another division/department in order to learn new skills and techniques.
- Sharing insights on priorities and looking for synergies/new ideas that cut across discipline boundaries.
- Organising meetings/ seminars/ workshops between departments, both internal and external, and disciplines to share learning, understanding of key terms, concepts, language and tools to tackle problems.
Applications should be submitted to rst@manchester.ac.uk by 4 pm on Monday, 28 April.
