Staff are invited to the Global Research Opportunities Workshop (GROW), a collaborative venture between International Development, Research Services, the Graduate School and the Dean for Internationalisation.

The workshop will be held on Monday 30 November from 9.30 to 15.00 and will be an interactive way of learning about international funding opportunities to support research, education and training.

After an introduction by Professor Phillippe de Wilde and Dr Anthony Manning, the keynote speakers will lead with their chosen topics. We are lucky to have three excellent speakers to share their expertise; Tania Lima, Assistant Director of Programme and Operations, UK HE International Unit, Universities UK; Lucy Shackleton, Senior Policy Officer, UK HE International Unit, Universities UK; and John Reilly, UK Bologna Expert.

The workshop will provide an overview of international funding opportunities to support research, education and training, including the Newton Fund and Erasmus+ with case studies from both experts at Universities UK and successful award holders at the University of Kent.

This event will be free to attend and open to all in Darwin Conference Suite. Please register your attendance here; the deadline to apply is Monday 23 November.

We hope you will be able to join us at what promises to be a beneficial and engaging workshop.
