WUN Research Development Fund

WUN encourages interdisciplinary and international collaborative research among its members via its Research Development Fund (RDF). The RDF is an annual competitive fund that aims at bringing together researchers from WUN member universities to undertake innovative, high quality, research that addresses cross-cutting themes related to the WUN Global Challenges and the related Sustainable Development Goals.

To date, the RDF has invested over £3 million into fostering international, interdisciplinary research collaboration.
