CEE Research Fund
Thanks to a generous award from the University of London Vice-Chancellor’s Development Fund, the CEE runs a Research Grants scheme. Each year, the CEE assigns several small grants to groups spanning at least two member institutions who seek to undertake preliminary research or organise discussions and meetings. Grants are expected to be normally up to £5,000, exceptionally up to £10,000. Applications should demonstrate novel collaborations between scientists from at least two London organizations (Colleges and Institutes) considered members of the CEE and potential for future development.
PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and academic or research staff are all eligible to apply.
Applications to the 2011-2012 round are now open. Winners will be announced in March 2012.
