Now in its third year, the Imperial India Connect Fund seeks to kick-start early-stage research ideas and collaborations with peer institutions in India. The Fund encourages projects that, through establishing new links or strengthening existing ones, are likely to lead to future equitable collaborations between Imperial and the partner institution in India.
The International Relations Office are seeking two ECRs to join the panel for this years call. Applications for review will be sent to the panel in advance and you must be available for the panel discussion which will take place 14.30-16.00 on Thursday 24 July.
Panel: Chair: Prof Graham Cooke (Deputy Dean, Faculty of Medicine), Prof Sanjeev Gupta, Academic Co-Director of Imperial Global India and Professor of Earth Sciences, Two Early Career Researchers.
Application Process and Coordination:
Please email international.relations@imperial.ac.uk with your name and department stating you are interested in joining the panel by 14 July at the latest. The International Relations Office will coordinate the process and provide further country context/strategic input where useful.
The Able Network warmly invites all staff and postgraduate students to a special event in celebration of Disability Pride Month. The event takes place on Wednesday 16 July, 14.00–16.00, Enterprise Lab, South Kensington.
The event will welcome Steph Cutler from disability inclusion consultancy Making Lemonade, who will lead an engaging and thoughtful discussion on the topic of disclosing your disability or neurodiversity – a conversation that’s all about empowerment, choice, and creating inclusive spaces.
After the main talk, there will be a relaxed opportunity to stay, connect, and chat with fellow attendees. Whether you identify as disabled, neurodivergent, an ally, or are simply curious to learn more, you are very welcome to join.

We’re excited to invite you to a series of hands-on World of Food cooking workshops, where colleagues (staff and students) will share personal stories about the food and culture that matter most to them.
Each workshop will include collaborative cooking, storytelling from our colleagues, and of course, enjoying the meal we’ve prepared together.
These workshops are a celebration of our rich cultural diversity, the values we share, and the joy of coming together. Food has a remarkable ability to connect us on a fundamental level, and exploring what it means to each of us is a powerful way to build mutual appreciation and understanding.
You can sign up using the link below to participate in this year’s sessions. To ensure a fair process, each workshop has a registration deadline. After the deadline, participants will be selected through a lottery. Selected individuals will have 48 hours to confirm their spot. Any unconfirmed spots will be offered to those on the randomized waiting list.
All workshops will take place on Wednesdays in the Chemical Kitchen (Room 763, Chemistry Building, South Kensington):
Feel free to join individually or as a group – no cooking experience is needed, and everyone is welcome!
Spaces are limited, so be sure to register before the deadlines.
EarthScale: A new national programme to scale climate tech
We’re proud to be one of six partner universities delivering EarthScale, a bold new UK-wide programme supporting IP-rich climate tech startups and spinouts to scale to commercialisation.
Across the UK, high-potential climate innovations are emerging but too often, ventures stall between prototype and commercial success. EarthScale bridges that gap.
Backed by a powerhouse network of regional university hubs – Imperial College London, Cranfield University, the University of Derby, the University of Exeter, the University of Leeds and the University of Nottingham – the programme delivers:
If you’re developing a solution for net zero or climate resilience at TRL 5 – 6 and have raised seed investment, this is your opportunity to scale.
Applications open now until 7 September. Learn more and apply at www.earthscale.co.uk
