RDS hosted the annual UK Research Office visit to BU on 18th November 2018. The event was well attended and wide-ranging. Topics included overview of the impact of Brexit on EU research funding and a review of hints and tips for being successful at securing international funding. The session was delivered by Dr Andreas Kontogeorgos, BU European Advisor at the UK Research Office.
All staff interested in EU funding were also able to express their concerns related to Brexit and discuss the EU funding related questions they were concerned about.
