2021 Exploration Competition for Interdisciplinary Research – Now Open!
Posted on: Jul 8, 2021
The Office of Research Services invites eligible faculty members to submit applications to the 2021 Exploration Competition.
This goal of this competition is to support research projects that
- “bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches;
- propose to explore something new, which might fail; and
- have the potential for significant impact.“
If you are interested in this funding opportunity, please contact the Office of Research Services (research@concordia.ab.ca) as soon as possible.
Additionally, interested researchers are invited to join a webinar session about this competition. (See below for more details.)
If you plan to attend one of the webinars, please contact research@concordia.ab.ca for registration information.
