Funding Opportunities

Lancaster University Confucius Institute is delighted to launch Lancaster China Engagement Fund. We invite all academic and professional services staff at Lancaster University to apply. We will be able to fund two China-related engagement projects per calendar year up to the value of £3,000 each. This fund will be used to cover costs of networking and knowledge exchange activities led by the successful applicant. Unfortunately, we will not be able to cover the costs of research time and research support or assistance. This is an open call and thus all China-related projects are welcome. Preference will go to projects closely linking with Lancaster University Strategic plan 2021-2026: Strategic Plan | Lancaster University.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. To apply, please email a description of your project and budget (within one page) to ci@lancaster.ac.uk with “Lancaster China Engagement Fund” as the subject. Selected projects will be invited to a meeting with Director of the Confucius Institute, Professor Jinghan Zeng, and final decisions will be made within a week after the meeting. Supported projects must acknowledge contributions provided by Lancaster University Confucius Institute. If you wish to discuss your project informally, please contact Director of Lancaster University Confucius Institute, Professor Jinghan Zeng at j.zeng3@lancaster.ac.uk.
