Applications for our Fermor Seed Corn Grants for geoscientists are now open!

If you're an early career researcher, technical staff or research assistant within geoscience, this opportunity might be for you. Named after Sir Lewis Leigh Fermor, this grant scheme seeks to provide seed funding to individuals who are not able to apply for other, more traditional funding sources.

It also welcomes applications from early career researchers based in India and/or those who aim to develop international research partnerships between India and the UK.

The Geological Society will award up to five grants within the funding period, with an average award between £50,000 and £75,000.
