The International Research Development (IRD) team delivers opportunities designed to foster, support and develop international collaborations across all disciplinary remits. We offer schemes for funding international collaborative activities, as well as bringing eminent international Professors and research leaders to Bristol to collaborate with our own academic community. Find out more about these schemes on our Opportunities for international research development page.
The International Research Development's portfolio of awards sits within the Research Development International team. This team are able to draw upon a wide range of experience, knowledge, networks and expertise to best support development of international research collaboration, as well as linking in with other activities, including funding and policy engagement opportunities, within and beyond the University. In 2019 the University therefore made the strategic decision to bring this portfolio – much of which previously sat within the University’s former Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) – within the remit of the Research Development International team.
The IRD portfolio is led by IRD Manager Lauren Winch, with support from the IRD Officer, Sarah Watts, and in consultation and collaboration with colleagues from across the Research Development International team and the International Office. The rigour and quality of our main schemes are supported by a panel of academic experts from across the University of Bristol.
