Polycrisis Network Seed Funding Event

Tuesday 20 May | 12.30 – 1.30pm | Fine Art Building SR 2.09, University of Leeds

We will shortly be putting out a call for applications to the Polycrisis Network for seed funding (£200-£2,500 per project) on research related to our network theme. To support new collaborations for this funding call, we are hosting a networking and research development lunch on 20th May from 12.30-1.30pm in the Fine Art Building SR 2.09 on University of Leeds campus.

The event will be informal – come, have lunch and meet others who are looking to develop research partnerships across the university related to different aspects of the theme of polycrisis.

To help encourage conversation there will be specific discussion areas you can join. These broad themes have been developed after reviewing feedback from the membership forms on members’ interests and are:

• Understanding polycrisis - its meanings, interactions with complexity (e.g. health, trade), responses and critiques.

• Geopolitics, (post-)conflict and security.

• Society and culture - vulnerability, marginality and community.

• Ecology, sustainability and biodiversity. 

Please do also come if you don’t see your work directly reflected here. These are broad and crosscutting themes whose purpose is just to help shape conversation at the event - so we are not all standing around. You will also be able to join more than one of the conversations during the session and we hope the event will feed into future development of the network.

You do not need to attend the event to apply for the seed funding.
