The aim of the Humanities and Arts Research Institute at Royal Holloway is to foster intellectual exchange between scholars of different disciplines within and beyond RHUL. We are currently reviewing our objectives and funding schemes to seek the most effective ways to support our research community.

As a first step, we are pleased to announce a call for applications for grants of up to £500 for Start-up projects. The deadline for submissions for this call is 17 January 2022.

HARI funding may be applied towards the pursuit of research in various ways, for example, funding and organizing of research events, workshops, symposia, conferences. Successful projects are expected to generate exchange across the College and benefit a range of colleagues and students. Research must be of an interdisciplinary nature. In both its planning and execution it should include scholars from more than one discipline and/or engagement with one or more external partners. Since HARI aims to generate Impact through its activities, applicants should consider forms of public engagement and knowledge transfer. Applications demonstrating that external funding is sought alongside HARI funding will be viewed positively, as will an indication of plans for future funding applications.

Please find here the HARI Start-up Funding Application Form. Completed applications should be returned to harirhul.ac.uk by 17 January 2022.

Please note that any budget MUST be spent and claimed by the end of the financial year i.e. 31 July 2022.

For informal enquiries and advice please contact Dr Ruth Hemus (Ruth.Hemus@rhul.ac.uk), Director of HARI.
