The IAD offers funding for University of Edinburgh staff and students to develop and support academic networks and communities and/or test ideas for creative learning activities. (Includes Festival of Creative Learning Pop-ups.)
The aim of the fund is to support applicants to:
- Establish, develop or support internal interdisciplinary networks, particularly strategically important internal cross-School and cross-College networks.
- Establish, develop or support internal academic communities within a discipline, School or subject area, particularly involving both staff and students.
- Run innovative professional development activities which would support groups of colleagues or students to develop skills in leadership, communication, networking, writing and other generic transferable skills. We encourage you to explore experimental or creative approaches to professional development.
- To run a Festival of Creative Learning Pop-up event outside of the main programme in February. Please refer to the Festival of Creative Learning website (link at bottom of page) for additional information about Pop-ups.
