Are you an early career researcher (ECR) thinking about applying for your first grant or fellowship but are not sure where to start?
On Tuesday 2 June the Cambridge Centre for Climate Science (CCfCS), in collaboration with the Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) and the Cambridge Centre for Data Driven Discovery (C2D3), will be running a grant writing workshop for ECRs and PhD students working in the areas of climate, environmental and data science.
If you are interested in learning more about effective grant writing and what makes a strong application then please join us for this half day workshop, which will include interactive and networking activities, invited speakers and a panel session.
All ECRs and PhD students are welcome to attend, including those with little or no experience in writing proposals to funding bodies.

This workshop aims to help ECRs and PhD students maximise their chances of securing research funding, grants or a fellowship position.
