“Making sustainable development-style grants more competitive: Exploring, networking and building ideas” - Staged by the BAM Sustainable and Responsible Business (SRB) Special Interest Group
This session, with the lessons from the first session in mind, is much more forward thinking. Here, we want to build network groups and outline potential ideas to action.
This can be wish list building, blue sky thinking or something more directing. Networks should be fully formed by the end of this session with some sketches of ideas for funding projects.
Gather information on potential funding pots to apply for. Outline blue sky thinking ideas to share.
Three webinars, four aims.
The webinar series is designed to encourage, inspire and create action towards sustainable development grants (and therefore sustainable development action). It is an ever-competitive process and achieving success is harder than it has ever been.
This series will bring together energy and passion with a view towards greater grant success (especially for those that have never achieved it before). Academics under pressure to win grants or wanting to really push their careers will hopefully be interested in generating understanding, better networking and bringing ideas to fruition.
Our Sustainable and Responsible Business SIG will provide a base outside of institutional pressures to creatively discuss and strategize ways forward for the coming months and years. The SIG and related network will be there to fast-track advice and pose questions within a relaxed atmosphere of like-minded academics.

Early Career or Mid-Career researchers may find most benefit, especially where they are seeking those first contacts and initial successes with grants, but this is not the limit of our welcome. Practitioners may also want to get involved to find a network of academics to work with.
The event speaks to Academics, Mid-career researchers, Early career researchers, Doctoral students, Practitioners, as detailed in the BAM Framework

Dr Simon Smith has been working in Higher Education for nearly 20 years. He is Principal Lecturer in Business, Management and Enterprise at Oxford Brookes University.
Simon is co-Chair for the Sustainable and Responsible Business SIG at BAM and his research has developed over time to be very much focused on sustainable development, responsible management/leadership and better achieving the SDGs. He has had successes with funding, but would be the first to admit that there are many others who are much more successful in terms of amounts of money brought in and levels of success.
Simon comes at this series as someone who has had some funding success, but happy to share his experiences with a view to improve success for all involved
