Researchers Exchange Programme

The British Council is announcing a call for proposals in 2008 under its initiative to assist researchers in making international connections.

Our Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is an initiative which provides individual researchers with awards covering travel and subsistence costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific collaborations and contacts through exchange visits of between two week and three months.

The research link can be in any area of research, including science, engineering, technology, social sciences and humanities.

The applicant must have:

a doctoral qualification and currently hold a research position within an institution, or be within 12 months of obtaining a doctoral qualification and can provide evidence that they are taking up a research position once they have completed their PhD;
no more than five years full tenure in a university or research institute;
no more than ten years overall active researcher experience.

The maximum award that can be applied for is £5,000. Please note that more than one researcher from the same sending or receiving institution can apply for an award, but each must submit an individual application.

DARWIN RXP AWARDS
To celebrate the forthcoming anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, this year we would also like to invite researchers to apply for our special Darwin RXP awards. If you are a researcher in areas related to evolutionary theory and Darwin’s legacy you can apply for a special RXP award.

The deadline for applications is 2 July 2008. Please see the RXP website for full details and a downloadable application form.

For more information on RXP and the exchange awards please contact science@britishcouncil.org.
