In June 2025 the visits of several of our international visitors lined up, so the International Research Development (IRD) team invited them and their University of Bristol hosts to a ‘mingle’ over afternoon tea and cakes. This was combined with an information drop-in session so that other researchers at the University of Bristol could attend and ask questions about our funding schemes for international research development. This event took place in the Verdon-Smith International Seminar Room, in the Grade 1 listed Royal Fort House.
This was an opportunity to share research projects, create connections and to find out about the further support provided by the wider Research Development International team. Attending visitors and their collaborative projects included:
- Professor Jackie Leach Scully – ‘Values in the regulation of human organ transplantation‘
- Dr Colin Gleason – ‘Delivering on the promise of Surface Water and Ocean Topography’s (SWOT) hydrologic revolution‘
- Dr Liza Rose Cirolia – ‘Digital futures and African urban transitions: thinking with urban speculation‘
- Dr Haidee Cadd – ‘Past human-environment dynamics in South America: Grant and Publication preparation‘
It was a real pleasure to meet our visiting researchers and their hosts and to find out more about their collaborative research development – we’re really looking forward to hearing how these collaborations develop, and providing further support where we can.
