BU Research Blog

Every week I receive an email from UKRO (UK Research Office) updating me on the EU-related activities including funding calls, info days, tenders and other news which helps keep me up to date with the EU. As this blog can be accessed externally, we cannot give you all the information that they email, but you can get the full subscriber experience by registering at the UKRO website. I also have alerts set up from ResearchProfessional to keep me up to date with calls and news regarding EU funding.
