We are pleased to announce our first grant writing retreat for mid-career ecologists. Designed to focus on funding calls over £500,000 and into the millions, this event is aimed at anyone currently or soon to apply to ERC, NERC, BBSRC or other large grant making bodies.
This 3 day retreat is being held on Wednesday 1 to Friday 3 March 2017, hosted at the Royal Society, Chicheley Hall.
Our confirmed speakers are:
Successful ERC funded researchers Dr Emma Sayer (Lancaster University) and Dr Zoe Davies (University of Kent)

Throughout the day delegates will be encouraged to share ideas, develop their ideas through facilitated workshops focusing on the application process section by section and take time to apply the learning to their own grant applications.

During the course of the morning, delegates have time and space to focus in on their own applications, applying the lessons learned during the preceding two days. Most of our speakers and facilitators are on hand to offer their advice throughout the morning.
