During the webinar, you will:

• Learn about the Explore call and its key features, including research areas, assessment criteria, the evaluation process and recent updates from Formas.
• Hear from two successful Explore grant recipients as they share their experiences, lessons learned and advice for developing a strong application.
• Have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A with both the grant holders and research support staff.

Featured speakers

• Doris Carson, Department of Geography
