July 2022 Newsletter
Dear RECLAIM Network members,
Hope you are well! Below are updates over the past month.
Deadline extended for ‘Short Knowledge Exchange Visits (Secondment)’ funding to 02 September 2022.
We released our first call for funding for the short knowledge exchange visits (secondments) for early career participants. This is an opportunity to work with the like-minded people working 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 that must now be received by the RECLAIM Network using the online form by 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.
Here is a blog article that summaries the process: https://reclaim-network.org/blog/reclaim-network-plus-secondment-opportunities
