Eligibility
Eligible institutions are universities in the UK.Applications must be submitted by a Principal Applicant based in a UK university, who will act as Director of the Centre, providing intellectual and organisational leadership and ensuring delivery of the chosen research agenda.A Leverhulme Research Centre may be single-site (one higher education institution) or multi-site ('hub and spoke/s').
Description
The scheme is for UK universities to set up a Leverhulme Research Centre for outstanding original research aspiring to achieve a step-change in scholarship. The Leverhulme Trust invites applications for Research Centres that will not only conduct research of outstanding originality but also aspire to achieve a significant step-change in scholarship. The Trust's aim is to encourage new approaches that may establish or reshape a field of study and so transform our understanding of a significant contemporary topic. Applicants are therefore invited to be bold in compiling their bids. The Trust has a reputation for encouraging higher-risk research which is often therefore fundamental or curiosity-driven - so-called 'blue skies' - and pan-disciplinary. The expectation is that Centres will draw upon a range of disciplinary perspectives and expertise, perhaps bringing new disciplinary mixes to bear on a particular topic. The Centres should have the capacity to become recognised internationally for excellence in their chosen area. The participation of non-UK international institutions is encouraged, where this is relevant to the Centre’s research focus, but this is not a requirement.
