Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Research Exchanges with China and India
Scheme
Awards support visits of 3-12 months and should
be part of longer-term efforts to build UK-China/India partnerships. Awards provide funding at a flat rate of £24,000 per annum (or pro rata
for shorter visits) regardless of the direction of travel.
Joint (two-way) Exchanges are also possible. These allow a researcher at a UK-based
Institution to travel to a Chinese/Indian Institution and also for a
China/India based researcher at that Institution to travel to the same UK
Institution. The total funding available for a Joint Exchange is the
same as for a single Award.
Eligibility
The scheme is open to all
academic engineering researchers at post-doctoral
level or above. Applicants should have an excellent
track record in research. Industrial researchers and
establishments are not eligible
Applicants must be citizens of
the UK (or EU)/China/India respectively. Non-EU
citizens can apply to go to China/India provided
they have held a salaried research position at a UK
Institution for at least three consecutive years by
31 Dec 2011. Non-Indian or non-Chinese citizens
living in those countries can apply to visit the UK
providing they have held a salaried research
position at an Indian/Chinese research Institution
for at least three consecutive years by the same
date.
