Chemistry International Exchanges Award

We’re partnering with the Royal Society to fund a programme of international exchanges, bringing together chemists in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa to stimulate new collaborations with leading scientists, through funding to strengthen emerging research networks.

We’re offering you up to £12,000 for two year projects to share knowledge, build research capacity and create links for further collaboration.

What are we looking for?

Applicants have to be scientists in the UK who wish to collaborate with leading Sub-Saharan African scientists. Both researchers must have a PhD or equivalent experience and hold a permanent or fixed-term contract in an eligible university or research institute for the duration of the project.

Applications must be initiated by a lead UK researcher and then assisted by the co-applicant (overseas based scientist). All applications must be made through the Royal Society online application system.

You must submit your application by 14 October 2015.
