Funding
AFMNET will provide funding for early career researchers (ECRs) to carry out short projects at UK facilities able to provide training in new methods and techniques. Funding is also available for summer bursaries for undergraduate students to gain experience of research in areas aligned with AFMNET’s interests. Periodic calls for applications will appear here and be judged by AFMNET’s Advisory Board.
AFMNET wishes to promote outreach activity built on research activity aligned with the network’s interests. AFMNET can provide materials and demonstrations to use at outreach events and assistance with travel expenses and venue hire. Further announcements will appear, or contact us if you want to get involved.
