The Society has awarded the second round of grants from its COVID Academic Support Fund. The fund was created to support members who have been particularly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on UK universities and academic departments, and to support innovations in teaching economics that have arisen from online/blended learning delivery during 2020. This follows the first round of awards made in the spring, which totalled over £150k.
