C2D3 are delighted to announce the winners of the Early Career Researcher Seed Fund for 2024! 

The aim of the grants was to provide a step towards an independent research career with applications focusing on cross-disciplinary data science or AI. We received the highest number of applicants for this call to date, and the quality of applications was high.

Activities funded by the grants include student internships, workshops and seminars, and establishing an expert network. The researchers will complete their projects by January 2025. 

We were able to award funding for 4 projects, up to a maximum of £5000 per project.
