Manchester-Tel Aviv University

About the fund

The fund aims to catalyse new collaborations and – in the longer term – build global teams with the capability to secure external funding to continue their research. The fund is open to applications from all research areas, and we encourage applicants from any discipline to submit proposals.

We encourage the involvement of Early Career Researchers as either principal investigators or members of the project team.
