CILTER invites applications for its Edu-X Research Fund, available to professional services staff, academic staff, and postgraduate students at IELLI, for innovative and practice-led projects that reflect the mission and values of CILTER. Up to £1,000 per project is available, with £2,000 ring-fenced for proposals led by professional services staff or PG students. Please ensure your proposal:
- Aligns with the ethos of Edu-X research (https://cilter.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/edu-x-research/) and IELLI’s Research and Impact Strategy (https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/lifelong-learning/research-impact/research-and-impact-strategy/)
- Is collaborative (ideally across academic, professional services, and PG communities)
- Produces both practice-oriented and research-based outputs
