Short Knowledge Exchange Visits (Secondments)’
Funding Call Application Deadline

*Funding Available* - Secondment Call
We recently released our first call for funding for the short knowledge exchange visits (secondments) for early career participants. This is an opportunity to work with like-minded people across different sectors interested in Green-Blue-Grey Infrastructure.
The call offers funding support to foster exchanges between cities, business and academia, with emphasis on benefitting links between different types of organisation, and of early-career researchers (e.g. PhDs, PDRAs, new academics).
Given the holiday period, we extended the deadline to submit short proposals to the RECLAIM Network Team using the online form to 2359 BST Friday 02 September 2022.
Enquiries may be emailed to info@reclaim-network.org or directly to our team member Dr Thomas Kjeldsen at trk23@bath.ac.uk.
