The Arts Humanities and Research Council (AHRC) and BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Thinkers Scheme is a chance for early career researchers to cultivate the skills needed to communicate their research findings to those outside the academic community.
Cardiff University is holding an information session open to all GW4 institutions on 11 September 2019, 12:00-13.30. It will include an outline of the scheme, as well as advice from recent attendees, including Susan Greaney, a current participant in the scheme.
Applications for the 2020 scheme – the 10th anniversary of New Generation Thinkers – will open on 16 July 2019.
Each year, up to sixty successful applicants have a chance to develop their programme-making ideas with experienced BBC producers at a series of dedicated workshops. Of these up to ten will become Radio 3’s resident New Generation Thinkers. They will benefit from a unique opportunity to develop their own programmes for BBC Radio 3 and a chance to regularly appear on air.
This scheme is open to current PhD/Early Career Researchers (see the AHRC website for eligibility).
