Applying for grants to support your research

Finding funding can be one of the most challenging – yet crucial – aspects of postgraduate study in geography. This webinar is designed to help you navigate the process with confidence, offering practical guidance on identifying, applying for, and successfully securing grants to support your research.

We will explore a range of funding opportunities available to postgraduate researchers, including grants for research trips, fieldwork, archival visits, and other project-related activities. The session will also provide insights into what funders are looking for, how to craft a strong application, and common pitfalls to avoid.

Drawing on the experience of an expert panel with a strong track record of securing funding across both human and physical geography, the webinar will offer real-world advice and examples. You will gain a clearer understanding of how to plan ahead, develop competitive proposals, and manage the application process effectively.

There will be time for questions, giving you the opportunity to discuss your ideas and challenges directly with the panel and benefit from their expertise.
