We are excited to announce that theDevelopment fund from the British Academy Early Career Research Network in the South West is now open.
Development fund (rolling call): This fund provides the opportunity for ECRs to hold an event, roundtable, meeting or training activity, which promotes networking, collaboration, knowledge sharing or develops skills throughout the region, and can be extended to the wider ECR network if appropriate.
ECRs can claim a total of £3000 towards their activities which will need to be paid for by their institution and then expensed back to the BA.
Please be aware that to be eligible to apply for these you will need to sign up to the British Academy Early Career Rersearcher Network via this link
