British Council Researcher Exchange Programme - Call for applications

The British Council is announcing a first call for proposals under a new initiative aimed at supporting new links between early stage researchers in the UK and in other countries. The Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is a £500,000 initiative that provides individual researchers with awards covering travel and subsistence costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific collaborations and contacts through exchange visits of between one week and three months' duration. The research link can be in any area of science, engineering and technology, including social sciences and humanities. The term "early stage" refers to researchers at the beginning of their research careers, with less than ten years active research experience since the completion of a doctoral degree, or those in the last year of their PhD. The maximum award that can be applied for is £5,000. Please note that more than one researcher from the same sending or receiving research group can apply for an award, but each must submit a separate application.
