The KE Spring Challenge will take you on a journey of discovering the KE 
world, understanding what KE means for your faculty, the support 
available, exploring ideas and challenges and to help identify what 
aspects of your research can be used in KE. Following the format of the 
Summer Grant Challenge the aim is to get you to a point where you are in 
a position to produce a proposal to a funder. To support you, *VD Dr 
Tony Mulholland, VD Professor Rein Ulijn, Strathclyde academics and 
members of the RKES team*will facilitate 3 KE events running in March, 
April and May which we will provide you with a framework of 
interventions such as; peer review sessions, information sessions from 
experts and academics, plus peer support groups in-between the events. 
We will also provide a mechanism to review outputs and challenges of 
this process. We would encourage you to attend all three events. Buffet 
lunch is included. Please see details of all 3 events:-
