International Research Support Schemes

  • Research Exchanges with China and India

    This scheme will enable either a UK academic researcher to spend time at an Indian or Chinese university, or an Indian or Chinese researcher to visit a UK university. Awards support visits of 3-12 months and should be part of longer-term efforts to build UK-China/India partnerships. The awards provide a set amount of funding to be spent on the researcher’s living expenses, travel and accommodation.

  • Newton International Fellowships

    The aim of this scheme is to encourage outstanding, early career postdoctoral researchers based outside the UK to undertake high quality research at UK academic Institutions for a period of two years. Subsequent additional alumni funding will be available for a period of up to ten years to strengthen long term links with researchers overseas. New applications for Fellowships in engineering are administered by the Royal Society; however the Academy continues to manage existing Newton Fellows and alumni from the rounds to 2010.
