Event Details

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is the UK’s largest funder of economic, social, behavioural and human data science. This webinar will provide ARMA members with an opportunity to find out more about the new UK Research and Innovation five-year strategy and its implications for economic and social research, upcoming ESRC funding opportunities and will give ARMA members a virtual tour of The Funding Service, which will gradually replace all our existing grant systems, including the Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) system. The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly reduced opportunities for the ESRC to engage with research service professionals and we look forward to your questions and feedback.
