In addition to support for large scale projects, we remain very keen to assist research conversations, workshops, and network building which have the potential to develop into major projects in the future. We therefore invite colleagues to apply for small scale funding (up-to £1500) to help the early-stage development of ambitious interdisciplinary projects during 2024/25.

The Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) is a home for growing big ideas.  We support a broad and inclusive interdisciplinary community from across the full spectrum of Durham academics, where different perspectives are brought together to develop creative approaches to interesting and important problems.

We therefore invite colleagues to apply for small scale funding (up-to £1500) to help the early-stage development of ambitious interdisciplinary projects during 2024/25.

The £1500 funding can, for example, be used to support costs to fund short visits of external visitors to Durham (travel and accommodation); fund hosting conferences and workshops (travel and accommodation for key participants, catering); fund short visits for Durham research staff to visit other key researchers).

The application deadline is 5pm Monday 04 November 2024, and the outcome will be communicated w/e 29 November.
