Academic publisher SAGE, US, has announced plans to partially fund a new research hive for doctoral students and researchers at the University of Sussex Library. The library's Research Support Programme offers a dedicated space, or 'hive', for researchers and academics to meet and discuss their work. It is set to receive a government grant as well.
The move is expected to support various aspects of the programme, which also includes three annual scholarships for researchers, a seminar series and an international education conference. As a publisher whose portfolio complements Sussex's research and teaching closely, SAGE believes there are many mutual benefits offered by the latest partnership.
SAGE is an international publisher of journals, books, and electronic media for the academic, educational and professional markets. Since 1965, it has sought to inform and educate a global community of scholars, practitioners, researchers, and students spanning a wide range of subject areas including business, humanities, social sciences, and science, technology and medicine.
The University of Sussex was the first of the new wave of universities founded in the 1960s, receiving its Royal Charter in August 1961.
