How does ISSR work?
ISSR was founded in 2017 to promote social science-led collaborations. We focus on supporting interdisciplinary research, identifying and developing new collaborative links, and expanding current relationships across Schools. The initiatives we have brought in to help achieve this are:
- our seminar series
- funding opportunities such as our Interdisciplinary Incubator Grant and supplementary and PhD support funding
- the Global Scholar Programme
- the Annual Research Forum
If you have an idea for an initiative or project and would like support, please contact us
