Some of you sharp-eyed bloggers may have noticed we have a brand new EU tab. This marks the Research Development Unit’s dedication to increasing the awareness of EU funding and supporting you to maximise networking opportunities. The EU blog will feature essential information including networking events, forthcoming information days, key policy changes, internal workshops and of course calls for proposals.
All stories from this tab will feature in our snazzy daily digest email so make sure you’ve signed up so you don’t miss out!
