As part of OCEH's Academic Toolkit series, this session focuses on grant writing in the environmental humanities. We are pleased to welcome Professor Aike Rots (University of Oslo) and Professor Rachel Douglas-Jones (IT University of Copenhagen), who will draw on their own experiences to offer practical guidance for early-career researchers preparing for their first grant submission.

The session will be held in person and includes a panel Q&A. The programme is as follows:

9:00–9:30 — Welcome and introductions

9:30–10:30 — Grant writing: Aike and Rachel

10:30–10:45 — Coffee break
