ECRN Research Roundtable: Funding
ECRN Events – Gareth Clayton, Charlotte Ribeyrol, Jo Vine
- 6 February 2023
- 5:00 – 6:30 pm
- Online
The processes and policies that underpin the dissemination of research funding may seem mysterious, but by drawing on the expertise of colleagues whose perspectives cover the three main areas of research grant management, this roundtable will help you to better understand the landscape of research funding in the UK and beyond.
We are bringing together Dr Charlotte Ribeyrol (Associate Professor, Sorbonne University), Dr Jo Vine (Head of Research & Impact, Fitzwilliam Museum) and Gareth Clayton (Grants and Fellowships Manager, Paul Mellon Centre) to represent the perspectives of the applicant, facilitator and funder. They will each present on their experiences of research funding before opening up the audience for a Q&A session.

Charlotte Ribeyrol is Professor of English Literature at the Sorbonne in Paris and a Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Her main field of research is Victorian Hellenism and the reception of the colours of the past in nineteenth-century painting and literature. Her first book entitled Etrangeté, passion, couleur, L’hellénisme de Swinburne, Pater et Symonds was published in 2013. In 2014–2016 she co-directed a major interdisciplinary project on chromatic materiality (POLYRE) with chemists and archaeologists, which led to the publication of a collection of essays entitled The Colours of the Past in Victorian England (Peter Lang, Oxford, 2016). Following her Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship at Trinity College, Oxford (2016–2018), she was awarded an ERC consolidator grant for her project CHROMOTOPE (2019–2024) which explores the nineteenth-century “chromatic turn”. Her forthcoming monograph on Victorian architect and chromophile William Burges entitled William Burges’s Great Bookcase (1859–62) and the Victorian Colour Revolution will be published by Yale University Press in June 2023.
