How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowships

For senior researchers who have retired or partially retired from an academic post to complete a research project and prepare the results for publication

The primary intention of the scheme is to support the facilitation, integration or completion of the applicant’s own research output, rather than generally further support for his or her research group or research assistants.
Value

The maximum value of a Fellowship is £24,000, to cover research expenses.
Duration

Fellowships are tenable for between 3 and 24 months.

NERC Constructing a Digital Environment - Demonstrators

NERC is inviting proposals for demonstrator projects costing up to £960,000 at 80% full economic cost, with a maximum duration of 24 months, as part of the Constructing a Digital Environment Programme.

Constructing a Digital Environment is a Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF) Programme which is being led by NERC, but is supported by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). This programme aims to further bring together the ‘Digital Environment’ community across multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research & innovation (MIDRI) to scope out sensor networks technology and the associated infrastructure, in order to identify what will be possible in the near and far future in the Atmospheric, Earth and Ocean domains.

This call will fund demonstrator projects which fully illustrate the capacity of emerging sensor and data integration technologies and methodologies. This will harness the UK’s leading position in environmental, observational and computer/data sciences to create a digitally enabled environment. Ultimately, it will result in integrated sensor networks and technologies with new and existing data systems infrastructure to store, clean and integrate the data produced, for subsequent analysis and decision making support. Projects will look at the possibilities associated with data processing, collation and interpretation and investigate how data could be accessed, visualised and used for decision making to provide benefit for policy makers, businesses, communities and individuals.

This programme will bring together environmental research and environment-focused informatics (such as statistics, machine learning and computer science) and social science to improve the understanding, modelling and prediction of events and inform future decision-making.

This will be an open call and is NOT limited to individuals with existing funding from a specific scheme (including previous CDE feasibility studies) or Research Council.

Royal Commission of the Exhibition of 1851 - Industrial Fellowships

The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 invites applications for its industrial fellowships. These encourage profitable innovation and creativity in British industry by supporting graduates with the potential to make contributions to a programme of doctoral level research.

Applicants should have a first level degree in engineering, science or medicine, and normally be within five years of degree graduation. They should have identified research or a development topic leading to a patent, product or process in conjunction with a higher academic award, usually a PhD or EngD. Applicants must be employed by, or have an offer of employment from, a company in the UK or be in the first or second year of a UK university-based doctoral programme strongly coupled to industry. Company employed applicants must demonstrate a link between their employing company and appropriate staff at a UK university. Fellowships are tenable for three years, renewable annually. Approximately 10 fellowships are available annually, including an ERA Foundation fellowship for the electro-technology sector. For employed fellows, the commission provides 50 per cent of their salary, up to a limit of £25,000 per year, and university fees paid up to normal UK-student levels. For doctoral fellows, there is an enhancement to the existing stipend of £2,000 per year and a possible additional £15,000 to support the research project. All fellows will receive up to £3,500 per year to cover travel costs. In addition, the university research department will be paid an honorarium of £10,000 on completion.
