Target Audience: Staff interested in applying for research funding
This is a live, on-campus event.
Research Professional is an online platform designed for sharing research funding call information and news from a wide range of UK and international funding organisations. It is a great resource for anyone looking for opportunities to apply for funding!
In this short, interactive workshop, RKES Research & KE Coordinator Melissa Brown will teach you how to use Research Professional most effectively to support your own funding ideas.
Suitable for beginners as well as anyone who wants to refresh or expand their knowledge of Research Professional, the session will look at a range of platform features, including setting up personalised funding alerts, navigating funding opportunities with the advanced search function, using Strathclyde’s customised starting page and institutional groups, and more.
The workshop will include some live demonstrations of Research Professional features but also an opportunity for you to try out these functionalities yourself and set up your own alerts and customisation in your account.
Computers will be available in the room for the practical elements of the workshop.
