Events in Physics
The Royal Society and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research invite applications for the cost-share programme of their international exchanges scheme. This stimulates collaborations within the natural sciences between scientists in the UK and Russia, with the aim to build lasting networks and strengthen emerging collaborations. Eligible subjects covered include: physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, geography and experimental psychology.
Collaborations should be based on a single project involving the UK based applicant and the Russian co-applicant. Both applicants must have completed a PhD or have extensive experience at an equivalent level. They must hold a permanent or fixed term contract in an eligible university or research institution in their respective countries. Retired scientists, who are still active in science, may apply. Junior scientists, such as PhD students or postdoctoral researchers, are encouraged to apply.
The Royal Society provides up to 拢12,000 for the UK team as a contribution towards their travel and subsistence costs. Up to 拢2,000 of this amount may be spent on research expenses and consumables. An additional 拢12,000 equivalent is available from RDBR towards the Russian team鈥檚 travel and subsistence costs. Awards are available for a fixed period of two years. Projects are expected to start on 10 December 2018.
