Workshop – Developing transdisciplinary partnerships the second part of this launch event is a workshop aimed at those who want to network and develop ideas around particular themes. We will invite any participants who wish to make a flash pitch of a research idea to do so before moving on to group discussions that will be framed around the three overarching themes of UKRIs GCRF strategy:
In addition to being a great opportunity for anyone wishing to develop ideas and collaborate across disciplines, this workshop will also be an opportunity to develop project ideas that might relate to the current internal calls such as the GCRF Catalyst and Accelerator and also external calls such as GCRF Digital Innovation for Development in Africa (DIDA), Urgency Grants and Rising from the Depths Network. If you would like to give a flash presentation, please do send me an email or let us know when you arrive at the event. |
