As strategic partners, the University of Sydney and the University of Glasgow are committed to achieving impact through research collaboration.
Ignition Grants facilitate and support collaborative projects between the University of Sydney and University of Glasgow that develop multidisciplinary innovative research, and create academic and societal impact.
These grants are designed to provide early- and mid-career researchers with the opportunity to develop joint research projects with our strategic partner.
All funded projects should evolve into larger-scale projects and leverage external funding. Evidence of external funding submissions will be required in final project reports.
In this round, up to four projects will be funded:
Each project will have two teams led by Chief Investigators, one from the University of Sydney and one from University of GlasgowThe award will be AUD $25,000 from the University of Sydney and £12,500 from University of Glasgow. Up to a to a total of AUD $50,000 or £25,000 (approx.)
Proposals must include a team of participants from both institutions and preference will be given to teams that include Higher Degree Research students, Early- and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) and/or researchers on sabbatical leave. Projects which are multidisciplinary in nature are encouraged. Preference is given to applications involving new collaborations and to projects led by researchers within 10 years of receiving their PhD.
Projects that are multidisciplinary in nature and address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are highly encouraged.
