A competitive funding pot for PhD students looking to increase the chances of their research having an impact through engagement with non-academic audiences. Termly deadline for applications for projects up to £5k, lasting up to 1 year. Projects are invited on all research areas, though some funding will be ring-fenced for projects addressing strategic priorities of 'sustainability', 'inclusion', 'technology and society', and 'shaping the post-COVID world'.
Please send expressions of interest to research.kei@lse.ac.uk. The KEI Integrated Service will work with PhD candidates to develop their ideas and complete an application form - this process will likely take a few weeks, so please allow sufficient time. Before submission, applications have to be supported by PhD supervisors. Applications are then considered and approved by Professor Rita Astuti, Director of the PhD Academy, and Professor Susana Mourato, Pro Director for Research.
Lent Term deadline - Friday 18 February 2022
