Join us for a chance to learn about the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI FLF), a flagship funding opportunity that supports the future leaders of research and innovation. This webinar will present case studies from current Future Leaders Fellows working in businesses and Catapults. Join us to hear about how FLF has supported their careers in research and innovation and find out about your opportunity to apply to the FLF in 2024.

This online event will provide first-hand advice on the application and interview process from fellows who have successfully applied for funding. You will also hear from members of the assessment panel who can share top tips for the interview process, and the FLF Development Network who will talk about the development support provided to Future Leaders Fellows. Innovate UK and UKRI team members will also be available answer any questions you may have about the upcoming Round 9 competition.

Intended for an audience of researchers and innovators looking to pursue an ambitious programme of innovation, whilst stepping into a leadership role.
