Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Research Exchanges with China and India
Funding
The Award is up to £24,000 per
annum (or part thereof depending on the length of
stay) for researchers coming to the UK and those
travelling to China/India.
Please note that the funding
provided is not a salary but a grant to cover
travel, accommodation, living expenses and visas. No
more than 10% of this Award may be used to cover
project costs - to include project specific
consumables and costs of conference and seminar
attendance directly related to the research area.
Funding cannot be used to pay for staff costs,
administration costs or running costs of the Host
Institution.
The total funding available
for Joint Exchanges is the same as for a Single
Award. The division of funding between the two
visits must be identified separately.
Funding is allocated to the UK
Institution, irrespective of whether the visit is
inward or outward, and there will be a contractual
responsibility to transfer the appropriate funds to
the Visiting Researcher. All responsibility for
arranging travel and accommodation will lie with the
Visiting Researcher and the Host Institution.
No more than 90% of the total
approved estimated cost for Awards will be transferred to the UK
Institution when the Award is made. The remaining
funds will be released after the completion of the
Exchange and receipt of the end
of project report.
If the final report indicates
that shorter actual visits resulted, than in the
original proposal or application, then all the 10%
retained funding would not be returned to the
institution to compensate for the reduced visit
duration.
