BBSRC International Scientific Interchange Scheme

The Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) International Scientific Interchange Scheme is to help scientists add an international dimension to their BBSRC funded research by making and establishing new contacts with international counterparts.

Funding is available for: Short Term Travel Award - normally intended as a meeting. Allows researchers to travel outside the UK to initiate collaboration or prepare proposals with partners for international programmes (e.g. EU Framework, Human Frontier Science Program); Long Term Travel Award: For researchers to travel outside the UK for periods of up to 12 months; Access Award: For stays of up to one month in another country to undertake a specific piece of work, access facilities not available in the UK or gain access to new techniques or materials, which would be of benefit to the BBSRC project or the UK research team.

Funding is limited to travel and subsistence costs only, and does not usually exceed approximately £5,000. Click on the link below for more information; there is no deadline for applications (but you must apply at least six weeks before you travel).
