2023 marks ten years since the University of Birmingham established a dedicated suite of resources to support interdisciplinary research, building on our excellent track record of research that spans traditional academic disciplines and laying the foundations for future success. Across 2023 we’ll be marking this milestone by offering funding and hosting a series of events to help promote interdisciplinary research.
