Recommendation to establish a coherent framework for enabling and supporting IDR, under strong academic leadership. The Grants Academy will provide professional support to IDR activities, informing, training, facilitating horizon scanning, challenge and review sessions and supporting the development of bids and collaborations. Follow us on Twitter @UoAResInnov Aberdeen Grants Academy

  3. Grants Academy • Support at ALL STAGES of the research grant life cycle: conception of ideas, through development and refinement of an application, to research delivery and realising impact. • A comprehensive programme of development. • Enhance our research environment. • Offer the ability to be better prepared for opportunities and enhance our ability to respond to calls. Follow us on Twitter @UoAResInnov Aberdeen Grants Academy

  4. How the Grants Academy Works • Developed as a series of interwoven elements including sandpits to support the development of ideas and projects, grant writing workshops, rebuttal support, support for delivery of outcomes and outcomes management and more. • Relevant to today, supports: • Effective horizon scanning • Facilitation of early ideas development • Supporting interdisciplinary working Follow us on Twitter @UoAResInnov Aberdeen Grants Academy

  9. Research needs

  10. SDG6

  11. Cross-cutting theme through almost all goals

  12. Themes in water security Wide reaching and inherently interdisciplinary The following list can provide a starting point for our conversations, and also highlights the breadth and potential for future collaborative working across the university in this field. • Climate change and water security • Land and water management and environmental change • Sustainable exploitation of natural resources • Socio-hydrology • Water and health • Water governance Follow us on Twitter @UoAResInnov Aberdeen Grants Academy

  14. Themes 2 • Water and exploitation of natural resources • Socio-hydrology

  15. Themes 3 • Water and health • Water governance

  16. Some context • Aberdeen does water-related research very well Ranked 34 out of 300 for Water Resources in ARWU • Others are much more effective and have higher profile https://water.leeds.ac.uk/

  17. Groups • Climate change and land/water management • Water and health • Socio-hydrology and water governance What are our strengths? Existing projects? Opportunities? Collaboration needs? International networks?
