The CORE (Computer Science Research Energies) group, established in 2021, serves as a dynamic hub for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and others at Swansea University, concentrating on enhancing grant writing skills. To facilitate substantial advancements in their respective applications, CORE conducts specialized workshops focusing on critical aspects of funding proposals, including the development of a compelling vision, strategic approach, and a research-oriented CV.
Moreover, CORE is renowned for its annual grant writing retreats. These retreats offer a unique opportunity for colleagues to step away from daily disruptions and immerse themselves in the grant writing process. This dedicated environment fosters the cultivation of grant proposals, leading to numerous submissions to UKRI and benefiting a wide array of faculty members.
