This call invites research proposals in areas of mutual interest and complementary strengths that will strengthen the partnership between UCL and Fudan.
The initiative seeks to build on existing links and stimulate new ones between UCL and Fudan. Successful applicants will clearly outline in their proposal a specific project or joint research activity that they would like to explore with their counterparts.
Proposals from all fields are welcome but we particularly encourage projects in the areas aimed at addressing and mitigating challenges relating to:
•Carbon neutrality (e.g. climate change, sustainable construction, clean waste)
•Healthcare and wellbeing (e.g. informatics/data-driven brain sciences, neuroscience, global/public health)
•Life sciences
•Archaeology, history and cultural heritage
Proposals should be co-led by a Lead Applicant at each institution and can involve a wider team of participants from each institution, as appropriate to the activities proposed.
Up to 3 joint projects will be selected for funding. Proposals wll be assessed by a commitee composed of members from both Fudan and UCL. Up to 20,000GBP is available per successful proposal. Funding will be provided jointly by Fudan and UCL, with approximately 100,000RMB from Fudan going to the lead Fudan academics and 10,000 GBP from UCL going to the UCL academics. However, only one proposal should be submitted.
