Aug 13th, 2015 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0These are small projects involving one person each only and locally receive other direct support accommodation etc so the Shackleton fund usually only pays for airtravel and some basic equipment etc. The researchers parent company usually covers wages.
They are NOT funding oil drilling or missile building you idiot!
Another good news story from the Islands .Interesting topics for research. Nice to see a someone from a Welsh educational institute being awarded .Proving that the Islanders can maintain a cultural and educational heritage with Wales without making a political song and dance about.

Well Paul just proved he's never done any post-graduate research.
£10,700 is more money than paul-carrion is ever going to see in his life time.

Any hoo, well done to all. More good news from the noble Falkland Islands.
it is pretty pathetic to publish news like this one.

poor 3rd class plebs...sad, sad, sad
Paul stop proving you haven't ever been near a university. It is quite embarrassing.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 09:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A scholar may receive dozens of these grants per year and quite possibly hundreds, if they play their cards right, during their studies.
They don't work off a SINGLE grant for their study or work.
However considering your Argentinean education, it is hardly surprising that this is all news to you.
Paul-carrion should get a grant for Sheer Intellectual Fallibility Studies.

The ability to make this count is a British trait-probably why we are not in the financial mess you are in.
Oh and enjoy the £36 million your country begs off the UK in aid.
Spongers.
