Professor William Gallagher:

I want to follow up on that with a concrete example. As I mentioned in my opening address, we are putting together a submission under the HEA North-South research programme. Again, this is the first substantial funding recently to encourage North-South collaboration. The specific focus of that application is for PhD and post-doctoral fellow training across the ten institutions, which provides an exciting training opportunity and is a foundation stone for AICRI. The deadline for that is 8 November and, hopefully, it is going to be very competitive. We think there are approximately 500 applications coming in but only ten will be funded, so the success rate will be low. Ultimately, however, we think we have a compelling argument.
