Event details

UKRI have recently launched a cross research council responsive mode pilot scheme that will support breakthrough or disruptive interdisciplinary ideas not routinely funded through existing UKRI responsive mode schemes. It aims to:

unlock new research, new approaches or new methods that would not emerge from established disciplinary thinking
demonstrate reciprocal research benefits through the involvement of distinct disciplinary perspectives and spheres of knowledge
support breakthrough or disruptive ideas and collaborations
incentivise new and unexpected types of interdisciplinary research not routinely funded through existing UKRI responsive mode schemes
encourage speculative, early-stage and high potential interdisciplinary research proposals, embracing new concepts, techniques, or technologies

Ahead of the university selection deadline of 1st June, join YESI to share ideas and connect with potential collaborators from across the university around YESI’s research themes: Resilient Ecosystems; Food Water and Waste, and Environment & Health.
