International Investment Initiative (I3) Fund

Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre

Building Critical Mass for Palliative Care Research through Collaborative Support, Exchange and Challenge

We are delighted to be one of only 8 UKRI fund grant recipients in England in partnership with the IMPACCT research group at the University of Technology Sydney (Australia) for our bid, "Building Critical Mass for Palliative Care Research through Collaborative Support, Exchange and Challenge".

This UKRI fund aims to support the scaling up of existing strategically significant, internationally collaborative research relationships between English universities and research organisations outside the UK.

The award funds a programme of joint "Creating Connections" conferences, workshops and masterclasses, and an academic exchange programme (professions, senior lecturers, post-doctoral researchers, PhD students) to foster collaborative links and joint working.

‘The success of the partnership between IMPACCT and the Wolfson Palliative Care Centre has been driven by share value for research which has real impact, involving our teams from early career to senior researchers, and allowing enough time for the exchange visits to build trust and mull over small ideas which can then grow into bigger ones’.
