Researcher Exchange Programme    

Call for proposals 2008    

Our Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is an initiative aimed at supporting new links between postdoctoral researchers in the UK and in other countries. The purpose of RXP is to help develop new research links between higher education institutions and research laboratories in the UK and other countries. RXP provides individual researchers with awards covering travel and subistence costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific collaboration and contacts through exchange visits of between two weeks and three months.   

The Awards

The awards are open to postdoctoral researchers at the beginning of their research careers. 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 5 years full tenure in a university or research institute

- no more than 10 years overall active researcher experience

The duration: two weeks to three months (single or multiple visits)

Maximum award: £5,000
