Bidding is now open for the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Research Challenges 2009.
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Research Challenges is a unique scheme that asks everyone in the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê community - staff, students and alumni - for their ideas about new areas for research, and then awards funds totalling £50,000 each year to help kick-start research projects focusing on those areas.
This year, the Research Challenges Board decided to look for themes of potential strength at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê which have not, to date, received the funding and publicity they deserve.
After consultation with staff, students and alumni, the following themes were selected:
- Film studies
- Stem cell research in stroke illness
- Future of food
- Global governance
- Migration
- Security
- Human rights
- Evolution of multi-cellular life
Bids should be presented on a single side of A4 and received by 15 June 2009. The competition rules can be accessed .
