<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">This year, the CTTF will run six funding rounds, providing financial support for postgraduate researchers (PGR) and early career research-focussed (ECR) staff to access professional
development activities beyond the University. These include in-person and online conferences, structured training events, and other opportunities that enhance researcher mobility and raise academic profiles. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

projects. These activities not only enhance their professional growth but also build valuable networks and raise the visibility of our research community.
