WUN Research Development Fund now open!

Posted on Wednesday 2 August 2023

The Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) is a world-leading research university network, tackling global challenges through international collaboration. The Research Development Fund provides grants of up to £10,000 to foster research collaborations among academic staff members at WUN universities.

This year, the call prioritises the following areas of research:

1. Social justice and human rights; inequality
2. Sustainable world: cities and urbanization; energy transitions; water, and food security
3. Mental health; child and maternal health; ageing
4. Responsible and ethical applications of Artificial Intelligence

Please find all guidance for the call here and don't hesitate to contact Elisha Witcomb, York's WUN Coordinator, who can provide advice on eligibility, preparing the application, identifying collaborators in the network, and the internal review process.

Deadline: As the University of York is restricted to two lead applications, an internal sifting process is required. Therefore, COP Friday 22 September 2023 is the deadline for submission of York-led proposals to the WUN Coordinator (Elisha.Witcomb@york.ac.uk) for internal sifting (the final WUN deadline is 20 October).
