British Council’s Travel Grants 2017: Enhancing Researchers’ Career Opportunities!

Deadline: 13 June 2017

The British Council is currently inviting applicants for its Researcher Links Travel Grants 2017 with an aim to enhance and strengthen links for future collaboration, build research capacity and enhance the researchers’ career opportunities.

Objectives

• Contribute to capacity building of early career researchers – The proposal should include a description of the capacity building potential of the project (both for the individual applicant, and other potential beneficiaries), and the longer term impact that the project could achieve.
• Establish new research links or develop existing links – Travel Grants are intended to either support new links, or to develop existing links with the potential for longer term sustainability. Applications to return to the research group where the applicant carried out their PhD research or have previously taught will only be considered if they clearly demonstrate the latter.

Duration

The permitted duration of any visit is 4 – 24 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

• Applicants must be based either in the UK, or in the partner country (Israel), and be affiliated with a recognised publicly funded research establishment or public or private Higher Education Institution. For-profit organisations are not eligible to receive any grant funds.
• Travel may only be between the UK and partner country, but can be in either direction.
• Generally Travel Grants are open to researchers of any career stage, however this may change on a country by country basis.
