Interdisciplinary Research Themes
2024 Call for Interdisciplinary Research Networks
Interdisciplinary Research Networks (IRNs) are conceived to support research taking place across at least two Schools in the College of Social Sciences (COSS). Our vision is to support existing and new staff networks to pursue research objectives that extend beyond disciplinary boundaries and excellence. Bids should convey ambition and focus that would not normally be eligible for support at School level.
