June 2022 Newsletter
Dear RECLAIM Network Members,
Hope you are well! Below are updates over the past month.
Funding Opportunity - First Call for Secondment Funding
We are pleased to release our call for funding for 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 is aimed to offer 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).
Proposals must be received by the RECLAIM Network using the online form by 2359 BST Monday 01 August 2022. Enquiries may be emailed to info@reclaim-network.org or directly to our team member Dt 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
May I please request all of you to please circulate the opportunity among your network.
