School Research Committee announces collaborative writing grant recipients
The School of Business and Management has announced the recipients of its Collaborative Writing Projects grant scheme, to which a total of £34,000 has been allocated.
The scheme will link current PhD students and recent doctorates with School academics, and fund them to write a collaborative article that will directly contribute to an academic journal publication.
Each of the 14 projects will be based around joint work towards a ‘spin off’ of the PhD student's research, or an entirely separate project that the academic can substantially add to.
The teams who will be working on articles together are:
- Abdullah Ijaz with Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay
- Amrita Manohar with Eleni Lioliou and Martha Prevezer
- Anita Maharaj with Ahu Tatli and Geraldine Healy
- Aparna Pasumarthy with Andromachi Athanasopoulou
- Danula Dakshith Gamage with Maria Koumenta and Mark Williams
- Duncan John Reynolds with Manuela Perrotta and Giuliano Maielli
- Hyunjung Kim with Liam Campling
- Ioana Jipa-Musat with Martha Prevezer and Liam Campling
- Ira Parnerkar with Mustafa Ozturk and Ahu Tatli
- Muhammad Afzal with Panos Panagiotopoulos
- Rym Mouelhi with Nelarine Cornelius and Min Yan
- Sreenita Mukherjee with Patrizia Kokot-Blamey and Tessa Wright
- Yuanyuan Lai with Panos Panagiotopoulos and Eleni Lioliou
- Zafer Ornek with Elena Baglioni and Liam Campling
Professor Liam Campling, Associate Dean for Research, said: "This scheme is intended to give a boost to our academics after two difficult years, as well as to support our PhD students to develop their writing experience and skills."
The Research Committee also agreed to spend £10,000 to provide access to the Trucost environmental risk database for all staff and PhD students, following match funding that was obtained by Chunling Xia.
