Research Funding

Funding Opportunities in the College of Arts, Social Sciences & Celtic Studies

The College of Arts, Social Sciences & Celtic Studies  invites applications for its Visiting Fellowship Scheme, supported through the College’s Funding the Future programme.

This scheme is intended as seed funding to support short research visits that foster new or developing collaborations between researchers at the University of Galway and colleagues internationally, while also encouraging engagement with the rich archival and library collections of the James Hardiman Library

Visiting Fellows will have the opportunity to engage with the College’s vibrant research community, contribute to seminars and discussions, and explore opportunities for future collaborative research. Fellows are particularly encouraged to connect with the College’s Signature Research Areas, which represent established clusters of interdisciplinary collaboration.   These areas reflect the College’s commitment to “connective expertise” — distinctive research strengths that generate collaborations across disciplines and with partners beyond academia.
