Apply for Project Support

IATL is inviting applications for project support from both students and staff which explore ways of fostering community and reimagining the future of learning at Warwick. Students can also apply for funding for research and performance projects of up to £1500.

Through our project support, we seek to cultivate imaginative responses to current circumstances, and reimagine possible futures for education. We value the knowledge produced by staff and students at Warwick and invite both co-created and student-led applications. We particularly welcome applications that emphasise the sharing of learning and practice developed during the project with the wider Warwick community.

We'd particularly like to receive applications which introduce us to new ideas and practices, as well as ones grounded within our own strategic priorities. We aim to create and support an inclusive, diverse culture of innovation and a community in which we can all flourish. We welcome applications from all members of our Warwick community, and we are excited to learn from you. Please reach out for any support you need through the application process.

What project support can I apply for?

You can apply to IATL for up to £10,000. We encourage co-creation between staff and students for all projects. All projects over £1500 must include co-creation, with both students and staff working together on the project, and should engage with Warwick's Education Strategy. The higher the amount applied for, the more directly we expect projects to engage with Warwick's Education Strategy and priorities. All applications are reviewed by our Project Support Review Panel which includes staff and students.

Please ensure you review our Key Information video (left) and Funding and budget guidance before you apply - both are required.

All applications require supporting statement(s). Requirements depend on whether the project is student-led (up to £1,500) or staff-led/co-led by staff and a student. Please review the requirements on the Project Support application form carefully. We cannot review applications that are missing any required statements or approvals.

Students can lead on applications for up to £1500 for a research or performance project. Student-led proposals require a supporting statement from an academic staff member; details are on the application form.

Students applying for over £1500 must include a staff member as project co-lead, whose home department would administer project funding.

All staff leads and co-leads require approval from their Head of Department (HoD). HoD approval, and support from the PhD supervisor, is also required for all PhD student leads and co-leads. As above, PhD student-led projects may also require a staff co-lead.

Areas in which IATL shares practice include co-creation, interdisciplinarity, cultivating communities of learning, practices of teaching and learning, innovative assessment practices, student as researcher, wellbeing practices and international teaching and learning. You do not need to request funding to apply for IATL project support.
