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.
