Research Fortnight

Research Fortnight was launched in 1994 by William Cullerne Bown,[2] an entrepreneur and former journalist for The Independent and New Scientist.

It maintains a database of research grants offered by government agencies, charities, and other providers across the world to which subscribers have access.

In 2014 it warned that unless the government acted to distribute research funding differently, money would accumulate in London and the south east of England.

Andre Geim, who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010,[12] guest edited the 500th issue, which appeared on 17 May 2017 and contained an interview with George Osborne, a former chancellor of the exchequer.

Journalists at the company run several official Twitter accounts that link to limited free content, including @ResFortnight [14] and @ResearchEurope.
