As part of the Fusion in Action conference on Thursday 18 April, the Fusion Investment Surgery drop-in sessions will provide an excellent opportunity to talk about your potential applications to the Fusion Investment Fund (FIF). The FIF scheme reopens in April/May with an application deadline of 3 June, so why not take the opportunity to discuss your ideas and get advice about eligibility and assessment criteria now, as well as gaining inspiration from the showcase of the best of Fusion in Action at BU over the last 12 months!
The conference features a range of engaging presenters and two of these will be discussing their successful FIF bids so it’s a fantastic opportunity to find out more from those with the knowledge.
The following committee members will be on-hand with advice about the different funding schemes and how to ensure your applications have the best possible chance of being successful:
Study Leave – Debbie Sadd
Staff Mobility & Networking – Feng Tian
Co-Creation and Co-Production – Hong Bui and Richard Scullion
