Partnership Grant Schemes
The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS) supports a range of funding schemes, delivered independently or in collaboration with partner organisations. These grants help academics strengthen research capacity, build networks and deliver meaningful outcomes for the management studies community. SAMS understands that meaningful progress in management studies is driven by collaboration. It actively builds partnerships with organisations that share its vision, expanding the reach and amplifying the impact of its support.
The schemes vary in focus, eligibility criteria, and application process.
