Deadline: December 2, 2020

Applications are invited for the UK Research and Innovation NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship Program 2020/2021. The Fellowships are intended to enable the sharing and flow of knowledge and expertise between NERC funded researchers and their stakeholders, partners and/or user communities with the aim of generating impact from NERC funded research in the priority areas detailed in the NERC delivery plan.
