BBSRC International Workshops

Applications for the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) International Workshop grants are now open. The grants aim to stimulate joint working in topics important to BBSRC’s strategy and to match numbers of scientists from the UK with other countries to identify areas of commonality and explore the potential for international collaboration.

Around 8 awards are given out each year to the value of approximately £10,000 each. Workshops can be held overseas or in the UK. Ideas of what to include in your application are: A review of the current status of research in a specific area from each country; Identification of topics that could benefit from collaboration between the participants; Identification of the means for subsequent development of such collaboration; and An agreed action plan for implementation.

The deadline for applications is 22 November 2011; further details can be found at the link below.
