We are launching a Sandpit event and a new Project Funding Opportunity to advance the interdisciplinary research and leadership skills of our post-doctoral researchers and fellows at DU. This is a joint initiative between the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) and the university’s Research Culture development project Flourish@Durham.

Interdisciplinary Sandpit event, 25th April, 10-1pm, IAS Cosin’s Hall, Palace Green
Registration required.
Want to get involved in interdisciplinary research but you don’t know where to start? Have a question that requires the input from various disciplines? Come to our Interdisciplinary Sandpit event, where you will meet peers from other departments, share ideas and brainstorm new projects . Coffee and lunch provided.

Interdisciplinary Researcher Development Projects
We look to fund two projects of £1500 each to help post-doctoral researchers initiate and develop interdisciplinary collaborations on a topic of their choice. The projects could involve organising research events, establishing interdisciplinary research networks and/or piloting innovative research methodologies among other activities. Applications will open on 15th April and close on 10th May. Further details available in the Application Form.
