Seminar Groups are multi-institutional groups of academic researchers, postgraduate students and non-academic users who meet regularly to exchange information and ideas with the aim of advancing research within their fields. Where appropriate, Seminar Group members should be drawn from industry, Government Departments and other relevant organisations as well as from academic institutions. The ESRC would particularly encourage Seminar Groups explicitly designed to bring together leading researchers from across disciplines to identify new research agendas or capacity building priorities.
Funding is available for UK Research Organisations eligible for Research Council Funding to undertake these Research Seminars. For the 2008/09 Competition, the ESRC expects to make approximately 50 awards of up to £15,000 each for a maximum period of two years. Please note that the Seminars Competition is a non-fEC Competition. An additional £3,000 will be made available for applications where a strong case is made for the inclusion of international academics at events, or holding events abroad.
Please check website for further information.
Deadline: 15 January 2009 (watch out in Sept/Oct 2009 for next round)
It is probably too late to apply for this year if you haven't already been working on a bid, but we have included in the blog to be aware of it for next year.
