Hello Alex, and others on this course! Looking forward to meeting you all.

I’m at the Research and Knowledge Exchange in the University of Edinburgh’s School of Education and Sport, one of two research support officers who started in June this year, joining manager and data co-ordinator. I came from a small arts/culture organisation background with a lot of engagement and some project and funding work (so I’m still spending quite a lot of time smiling brightly and saying ‘I’ll get back to you on that’, because both HE funding landscape and huge HE institution are both new territory for me). The office currently works mainly on pre-award, although some post-award will be coming our way in the near future; I’m interested in knowledge exchange as well, though that is mainly handled by a College team.

Going to get set up with a mug of tea and see you at the webinar,

best, Lilias Fraser
