Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Distinguished Visiting Fellowship Scheme
How to apply
Applications for Distinguished
Visiting Fellowship awards are only accepted from the
host organisation in the United Kingdom. The
application pack consists of the following
documents:
Application Form
Please read the application guidance carefully before completing the application form.
Diversity Monitoring Forms
The diversity monitoring forms for the UK host (‘Nominator’ on the monitoring form) and
Distinguished Visitor (‘Applicant’ on the monitoring form) should be submitted as separate pdf files. These forms are an optional addition to the application.
The data provided will be used for
monitoring purposes only and will form no part of
the scheme’s selection procedure.
Incomplete applications
will not be processed.
Eligibility
All engineering departments in
the UK Higher Education institutions are eligible to
apply. Whilst the Fellowships are intended to favour
aspects of engineering and technology, the assessment
panel will also give sympathetic consideration to
proposals from related disciplines (e.g. within the
generality of ICT and materials) where a convincing
case for support is made. Applications from commercial centres of
excellence are not accepted.
Applications with visitors
from overseas academic centres of excellence in
engineering (including those from governmental
research organisations) are accepted. Visitors from
commercial centres of excellence are not
eligible for this scheme.
Deadline for Applications
There are two rounds of
applications each year. The deadline for the submission of the
first round of applications is 12 June 2013. The
deadline for the second round of applications will be the
end of November.
For further information,
please contact
Catherine Lawrence.

Grants Office' or equivalent, and so aid your
colleagues in applying to such schemes, please email
