Scoping award for WEO researcher 

Dr Daria Luchinskaya, Department of WEO, with co-investigator Dr Zihao Liu, University of Nottingham, has been awarded a small grant (£5K) from the Society for Research into Higher Education Scoping Award. 

The small grant of £5k is for a scoping project called “Mind the Last Mile: Mapping the University–Industry Engagement Gap for UK University Graduate Employability (A Scoping Study).” 

The Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) is an independent and self-supporting UK based international learned society concerned with advancing understanding of higher education, especially through the insights, perspectives and knowledge offered by systematic research and scholarship. 

As part of the Society’s programme of strategic initiatives aimed at sustaining research into higher education, the Society offers a series of annual research awards. These awards are funded entirely by the Society, and intended to support new research into higher education.
