SHAREing welcomes proposals for new Tasks that align with our Work Packages and contribute to the development of a national Skills Hub for Accelerated Research Environments.
If you have identified a gap, opportunity, or activity that would strengthen the community — whether through training, performance assessment, knowledge exchange, or collaboration — you may propose a new Task for consideration.
Before You Submit
Task suggestions can be submitted at any time. There is no fixed deadline. Once approved by the consortium, the task will be published as an open task on the Task Map. Funding applications for open tasks are reviewed quarterly.
Tasks will be supported through SHAREing Flexible Funds and must comply with UKRI funding rules and eligibility requirements.
