The Interdisciplinary Collaboration Event Fund supports SCDTP students who wish to plan and deliver events that foster interdisciplinary engagement across research fields and institutions.
The South Coast DTP allocates up to £2,500 per year to support student-led initiatives that promote collaboration, dialogue, and knowledge-sharing among doctoral researchers.
This fund is designed to encourage creative and innovative event formats that bring together researchers from different disciplines, backgrounds, or institutions across the UK.
Events should aim to be accessible to a broad academic audience and contribute to a wider research culture that values interdisciplinary thinking.
Previous successes at the University of Southampton DTC include symposiums on Impact and Knowledge Exchange, and Outsourcing.
How to Apply
There is no application form for Interdisciplinary Collaboration Event Fund (ICEF), instead, students are expected to prepare a written proposal that sets out the relevance, feasibility, and benefit of the proposed event to the wider student cohort.
If you have an idea for a particular event you would like to organise, please contact the SCDTP Manager at 📧 scdtp@soton.ac.uk.
When preparing for your application, please ensure that your proposal is developed in line with the Finance Guidance and your University’s Finance Procedures.
