PoLNET4 latest details: physicsoflife.org.uk/polnet4.html
And funding to support sandpits - to kick start your next collaboration!
This includes funding to support workshop ideas!
PoLNET4 has officially launched! π With Β£605k from EPSRC, the @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social enters its next phase (2025β2028), strengthening connections across the physical + life sciences.
What does this mean for the community? New funding opportunities!
We also had great speakers in Anders Aufderhorst-Roberts from Durham and Liverpool and Mark Leake from @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social discussing experiences and opportunities of interdisciplinary collaboration. Loads to think about from this session and already signposted two people towards PoLNET!
