The Leverhulme Centre for Life in the Universe Visitor Programme-Open Call
We will also consider applications for hosting visitors for workshops, to hold 1-2 day events and focus group meetings.
For visits needing funding support beyond £2,000 (e.g. to cover overseas travel costs), the Centre may consider such requests on a case-by-case basis. Please note that applicants will be granted one award per year. Multiple applications by the same applicant will have to be reviewed.Applications will be considered three times a year and will be selected by the LCLU Steering Committee. If your application fall outside of the deadline periods, please get in touch with admin@lclu.cam.ac.uk. Depending on funds available we will review your request in the next round of Steering Committee meeting.
For any enquiries please email: admin@lclu.cam.ac.uk

Only Centre members wishing to host visitors can apply. They can do so via the intranet. Potentially interested visitors are encouraged to discuss possible hosting arrangements with a relevant LCLU member, who can submit an application as the host.
