FAHB/SEI Research Forum workshop

Tackling Local and Global Challenges through Place-Based research
Fish eye view - city centre
This SEI Research Forum event took place on 7 December 2023 in partnership with the Faculty of Arts Humanities and Business.
This event was an opportunity to bring together Â鶹´«Ã½ researchers from across all disciplines to explore how the University is, and can further develop, place-based research to tackle local and global challenges.
This event:
  • highlighted some research already underway across the University
  • included external speakers delivering activity, for example Ed Whitelaw, Director, Nature and Neighbourhoods, RIO
  • outlined research funding opportunities and bring together researchers interested in taking interdisciplinary projects forward around the SEI Interdisciplinary Challenge Themes
  • developed a number of (interdisciplinary) place-based project ideas that might be taken forward and developed further through the SEI Small Collaborative Funding.
The workshop was open to all Â鶹´«Ã½ researchers – any discipline or any stage of career.
