We are delighted to share that three Early Career Researchers (ECRs) with long-term links to CBRL have won British Academy Fellowships and an ESRC new investigator grant. They are all winners of CBRL and Qasid Arabic Institute Arabic language scholarships (2010-2019) who went on to complete PhDs, and have also gone on to win other awards with CBRL and other respected research organisations.
We are proud to have been able to support all three researchers and that they are continuing their connections with us.
