  1. Gender and Changing Cities: Working with the African Centre for Cities at UCT Paula Meth Dept. of Town Planning / Sheffield Institute of International Development

  2. Why UCT & what did I do there? • UCT & ACC: expertise in cities & urban change, violence & social processes. Use Citylabs to work with partners, strong networks, & critical academics. • My research is all in global South, links are key: Access to data, NGOs, participants, research expertise. • Useful for fostering opportunities for impact & joint grant submissions, research dissemination, knowledge. Agreed on paper & bid.

  3. RMP funding: Advice / issues • Dept. very pleased: money & promoting international agenda & fostering partnerships. • Useful for pushing research into new direction, accessing new collaborations & partners, opportunities for impact & internationalising. • Application process was relatively easy but increasingly competitive, be sure to use internal review mechanisms & secure HOD support. • Plan RMP early in order to secure discussion with host to ensure it is a jointly agreed proposal.
