Making Connections grants for 2022-2023 announced
We are delighted to announce five new Making Connections Grants for 2022-2023.
Making Connections is Weizmann UK's flagship programme bringing scientists from the UK and Israel together to facilitate collaborative research projects. Grants of $100,000 are awarded for joint research projects over two years.
This is the 14th year of the programme and thanks to the generosity of Weizmann UK's supporters, there have now been a total of 76 grants awarded since the Making Connections programme began in 2008, bringing Weizmann scientists from a variety of fields into close working contact with scientists from around 30 UK universities and research institutes.
