IMCO recognizes that the ability to conduct research activities depends to a large extent on access to research funds.  There are two main sources of funding:

College Research Grant

The Research Department administers the CRG and all applications are reviewed by the Research & Consultancy Committee. For applying to CRG, please refer to the College Research Grants and Application Guidelines. 

The Research Department distribute the research funds in the line of the recommendations of the RCC.  All research staff will be eligible to apply for the CRG. Support staff may be members of the project team.

External Research Fund

The Research Council
