Thanks for those who applied for the TEPEN international collabration fund (ICF) this year. After evaluation by senior members in TEPEN, the TEPEN-ICF2021 will be awarded to the following five projects. Each project will receive £2,000 and the successful applicants will be contacted shortly. We hope the fund will stimulate the collabrations among project applicants.
