Fusion Investment Fund (FIF)
Fusion is the key concept which underlies Vision & Values 2018 and its delivery is critical to the University’s future mission. As a founding concept Fusion will allow the organisation to achieve its ambition of transforming the academic footprint of BU while remaining a similar academic size. It is the key academic strategy and central to the culture of BU. The Fusion Investment Fund consists of a series of separate funding strands which promote behaviour and actions that will drive Fusion within BU.
There are several funding strands available for staff, along with a range of supporting initiatives such as the Grants Academy for staff and students.
Please see the Intranet pages for more information about applying to the Fusion Investment Fund.
