To further research collaboration between INU member universities, INU Council is pleased to announce that five Researcher Mobility Awards of up to £1,700 have been awarded to the following early career researchers to spend between 2-4 weeks at another INU member university with a research centre aligned with their research interests.
The awardees are announced below, alongside their host University and research area.

The awards are part of INU’s Researcher Mobility Program, which supports early career researchers (who have completed their PhD in the past 5 years) to develop initially bi-lateral research collaborations, with a long term view of developing these further into multilateral research collaborations between INU members.
Congratulations to the awardees!
