Team Science Camp and Award
The programme is open to people from all career stages, but you must be actively conducting research in the relevant theme area to be eligible.
The Team Science programme has two stages, the:
-
Team Science Camp

Team Science Award
Team Science Camp
Each year, you can apply for a place at the fully funded Team Science Camp. The camp will focus on a specific research area, and you will be encouraged to form new teams with attendees.
At the camp, you will be coached in the principles of Team Science and supported to develop interdisciplinary teams. The teams will then be eligible to apply for an award to provide funding and support to develop further.
Team Science Award
This award funds up to £100,000 per team. Teams may use the award to:
- support pilot research

Research themes
Each year we focus on a different theme at the camp. Our previous themes include:
