Secondments & Placement Awards are intended to help fund UK-based Network members to facilitate the transfer and exchange of research and knowledge. This could be for training purposes or for the accumulation of new skills. They are not to be used for conference attendance. They may be used to visit to an industry partner or research laboratory for training purposes, but may not be used for training within an organisation.
