During the Grant Success Training organised by Prof Muthu De Silva, Dr Oliver Moss, as an external speaker, will lead four sessions for colleagues in the Faculty of Business and Law on how to thrive in the current funding landscape. He can also offer one-to-one advice on specific research grants, for which colleagues intend to apply.
At the end of the four sessions, you will have the skills necessary to submit a successful grant application. We hope that you will join us.
