Funding Information and Collaboration Opportunities Workshop

The ATOD and TOSCA research event

As part of the Technology, Operations and Supply Chain Analysis (TOSCA) research centre’s mission, we hosted a Funding Information and Collaboration Opportunities Workshop within ATOD on 2 March 2026. 

We were delighted to welcome a fantastic group of speakers who delivered insightful and highly practical presentations: Helen Pickard and Charlotte Stephenson, provided an excellent overview of the UK funding landscape and key UKRI updates. They also highlighted broader research activities across the University of Leeds and shared guidance on identifying the right funding opportunities. Helen Rajabi, presented an engaging overview of the current international funding landscape, discussing major challenges, opportunities, and important considerations when collaborating globally. Susan Laithwaite, introduced Horizon Europe, outlining the structure of the programme and key funding options available to researchers.

A huge thank you to all our speakers for their valuable contributions, and to all participants for their thoughtful questions and discussions.
