This event is aimed at research managers and administrators who would like to know more about the British Academy’s programmes and activities for researchers in the SHAPE disciplines (Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts for People and the Economy). It will introduce participants to (or remind them about) the wide range of funding opportunities offered by the Academy and feature a focus on three key areas of interest for the Academy going forward in our new strategy from 2023 – international perspectives; equality, diversity and inclusion; and the developing Early Career Research Network, extending the Academy’s commitment to the support of researchers in the early part of their careers. There will be an opportunity to meet Academy staff virtually and to ask questions and explore issues further.
