The 2009 MSc Competition The MSc Competition offers three £6,000 grants to Support Multi-Disciplinary Cross-Departmental MSc Projects Bridging the Gaps: Sustainable Urban Spaces aims to develop and support inter-disciplinary research into topics related to sustainable urban spaces. An effective way to foster a link between researchers in different departments is to jointly supervise a student project. The competition encourages researchers from different disciplines to work together as they supervise research students. The competition winners will be researchers from different disciplines who have identified a relevant area of cross-disciplinary research. The winners will be given an award of £6,000 to cover the course fees for, and additional payments to, a new MSc student to carry out the research on a part-time basis. Not only does this build interdisciplinary links between the supervisors, but it also introduces a new generation of researchers to this area and style of research. Submissions will be assessed on the quality of the research topic, which must be multi-disciplinary, and have the potential to produce new findings. The topic should lead to a project that can be completed by a student within the time frame allotted on their enrolled course. Applicants must clearly show how the research topic addresses sustainable urban spaces. There are three £6,000 awards available. Application Details To apply for the 2009 Competition, two academics from different departments who meet the eligibility requirements must complete the application form and email it to James Paskins (j.paskins@ucl.ac.uk) by the 21st of August 2009.
