Symposium: Mitigating the effects of Covid-19
In March ’25, three of EDICa’s first round of Flexible Fund projects presented findings
EDICa funded four projects in the first round of Flexible Funding. In March, we hosted a symposium where three of the projects shared findings. The fourth presented on 19 February in a seminar on mental health, which can be seen by clicking here.
You can find abstracts for each Flexible Fund Project on this webpage.
One of the projects, looking at the impact of Covid-19 on early career researchers, has not completed its research and only presented interim findings. We will be sharing the final report for this research when it is finished.
Project 1 led by Dr Kamna Patel – Feeding the research and innovation pipeline: COVID-19 and closing the degree grade awarding gap for Black and other minoritised students.
