The New Dynamics of Working

The ESRC has identified the ‘New Dynamics of Working’ as a potential area for future investment. Bids are invited from suitably qualified applicants to conduct a scoping study to explore demand for and existing work under way in this area, and to inform our decision-making in developing our research and knowledge exchange activity - both in terms of commissioning new work and of facilitating collaboration between existing research teams, ESRC and non-ESRC funded.

A fee of up to £10,000, exclusive of VAT if applicable, is offered to cover all costs incurred in the production of the scoping study.
