They will also receive a panoramic overview of existing funding schemes, as well as training and mentoring on how to prepare competitive and impactful grant applications to foster their continued research career and their professional prospects. A dedicated session will allow them to present their research ideas in order to receive feedback and tailored advice from senior researchers in the field of Textile Heritage research
