Presented by Ms Janice Besch

In this workshop we provide an overview of MRFF, the general plans for their rollout over the coming years and how to read the funding call so as to strategically position the application. Discussion and advice from OO will then focus on individual applications, in light of the strategic insights given: applicants will emerge with a clear understanding of how to choose the right scheme for them, and be competitive within it.

The Workshop covers: MRFF Strategic intent, MRFF Schemes overview, MRFF applications and assessment processes, and tips for developing applications.
