Welcome to the Faculty Research Development Group

University ArchesThe Faculty Research Development Group promotes and supports interdisciplinary research in the arts, humanities and social sciences at Newcastle University.
It does so by:
  • acting as a focus for intellectual and cultural debate in the University
  • working with staff to make their existing creative and research activities more visible across and beyond the University
  • initiating interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects
  • seeking funding opportunities, helping staff with applications, and influencing funding agendas in the University, region and nation
  • funding a Visiting Fellowship programme

Weekly Events Diary – each week the Faculty Research Development Group circulates to academic staff and postgraduate students an email diary of forthcoming research seminars and other events organised by Schools, centres and groups.
