A new learning and development opportunity is now available to help researchers respond to the changing landscape of research-funding that increasingly includes collaborating with business and solve some of societies biggest issues. The ESRC-funded VIBE (Venture Into Business Engagement) programme has been developed especially for Social Scientists and aims to equip researchers with skills and support to explore partnerships with business to realise social impact from their research.

Training, funding and mentoring are elements of the programme, which will run across 4 different sessions during the 2018-19 Autumn Term at the University of Warwick. We welcome applications to the programme from ESRC-funded students, both within Warwick and from across the Midlands Graduate School ESRC DTP.

A limited number of travel bursaries are available to cover travel expenses for non-Warwick Midlands Graduate School ESRC DTP students attending the VIBE Programme. If you are interested in applying for a travel bursary, once you have completed the ‘Application Form’ please contact Charmaine Mulligan c.mulligan.2@warwick.ac.uk to let us know you would like to be considered for this.

The final closing date for applications is Tuesday 16th October.
