Resources

Research Development Fund

The WUN uses subscriptions fees to underpin its portfolio of research activities. Researchers from across the Network are invited to apply for funds on an annual basis. These awards are intended to seed activities and research groups are expected to use them in part to identify more sustainable sources of funding.

Many of our partners encourage international development with funds of their own. Information about institutional funding should be sought from WUN coordinators. Institutional funds and funds from the Foundation can be combined to increase resources.

The RDF is not open to researchers from outside of the WUN.
