Partnership Networking Fund

The Crick and University Partnership Networking Fund supports staff and students from the Crick, UCL, Imperial and King’s to organise networking events with now up to £4,000 or £10,000 available per project, depending on the remit.

The Networking Fund aims to:

  • Build and strengthen interactions within the Crick-University partnership through joint events and build communities of staff and students around common research themes.
  • Allow groups of scientists and/or operation staff to create new professional networks, share expertise and skills, possibly beyond their own discipline.
  • Support interdisciplinary scientists to make connections, share and develop research ideas that could be included in joint research funding applications.
  • Primarily benefit the Crick and partner university staff and students, however, networking events could also include external participants from other universities, industry, policy or other organisations where appropriate.
