To help guide organisations through the application and ensure a successful bid, SMMT have organised a second RGF webinar. The session will provide advice on partnerships and consortiums, examples of successful bids and explain the differences between rounds 1 and 2. We aim to replicate the success of our previous webinar, slides here.
SMMT Chief Executive Paul Everitt will chair this event, Kathryn Waller and Annabella Coldrick from the UK department of Business Innovation and Skills will present the 30 minutes session; participants will then have the opportunity to ask questions.
