Since we began in 2013, the research network has provided pump priming, seed corn and capacity building funds to many researchers in Wales. We are keen to show how the opportunities that arise from even small investments in researchers can add many times their value to the economy through enabling significant grant capture, helping to create new jobs, and have a long-lasting impact for many years after the end of the initial funding timeframe.

Here you can click to read short articles about the fantastic researchers who have been funded by the research network in the past. We’ve been visiting them to see where they are now, which direction their research has taken, and how the funding has helped them in their careers.
