Climate Science Grant Writing Workshop

Are you an early career researcher (ECR) thinking about applying for your first grant or fellowship but are not sure where to start?

If you are interested in learning more about effective grant writing and what makes a strong application then please join us for this half day workshop, which will include interactive and networking activities, invited speakers and a panel session. All ECRs and PhD students are welcome to attend, including those with little or no experience in writing proposals to funding bodies.
