What are Grand Challenge Sandpits?

Grand Challenge Sandpits aim to bring people from the STFC and clinical communities together to discuss how they might work together and develop innovative research ideas in the field of advanced radiotherapy.

Pump-priming funding (typically £1,500 to £15,000) is available to initiate the best projects resulting from collaborations developed during the Sandpit.

Attendance at the Sandpit is free of charge.  Accommodation (one night) is provided. Attendees are expected to pay their own travel expenses. Pump-priming funding is conditional on attending the whole of the Sandpit.
