Objective
To support collaborations between researchers in other countries and the UK, and to hold networking events aimed at strengthening global research capacity.
The grants will help to:
- Deliver important science that can only be fully realised by working internationally.
- Tackle global challenges and develop future technologies, positioning UK researchers and innovators at the heart of global solutions.
- Enable international partners to collaborate in an agile way.
- Strengthen the influence and connections of the UK Research and Development (R&D) community domestically and around the world.
Eligibility
Submissions must be made jointly by a lead applicant based in an eligible country outside the UK and a co-applicant based in the UK.
To be eligible to apply, both applicants must:
- Have completed a PhD or have experience at an equivalent level.
- Have proven research experience in their field.
- Hold a permanent position, or a fixed term contract for the duration of the award, at an eligible institution (please see the scheme guidance for more information).
Lead applicants must not be affiliated to a profit-making and/or commercial organisation.
Applications will not be considered if there is more than one UK co-applicant.
