WUN does not fund research projects directly, but offers development or 'seed funding' for selected collaborations which demonstrate potential in the longer term to become self-sustaining and deliver benefits to the WUN partners.
In Bristol, the local WUN Steering Group is responsible for allocating funds. Priority is given to well defined proposals which aim to create new international research links or develop existing ones, and which demonstrate a clear potential to deliver long term benefits to the University of Bristol.
Applications from staff and students at the University of Bristol are welcome from all academic areas. To discuss support for working with our WUN partners, please contact the Bristol WUN Development Manager.
