This scheme is for scientists based in the UK (or US for the Kan Tong Po programme) who want to stimulate new collaborations with leading scientists overseas through either a one-off visit or bilateral travel.

a. Standard Programme Round 1 – Deadline 13th March 2018 15:00 UK time
The Standard Programme is available for travel to/from all countries outside the UK. The funding available is dependent upon the length of the visit. Applicants may request: up to of 拢3,000 for one-off travel lasting up to 3 months; up to 拢6000 for multiple visits to be completed within 1 year (including a maximum of 拢1000 for research expenses); up to 拢12,000 for multiple visits to be completed within 2 years and cost share projects fixed at 2 years (including a maximum of 拢2000 for research expenses).

2. Cost Share Programme Ireland – Deadline 13th March 2018 15:00 UK time
If you intend to collaborate with partners in Ireland, your proposal can also be considered for the Cost Share Programme. This entails the UK applicant submitting a proposal to the Royal Society for up to 拢12,000 and the overseas applicant simultaneously submitting a proposal for an additional amount up to/equivalent to 拢12,000 to a partner organisation, with whom the Royal Society has a funding agreement. Further information can be found in the Cost Share programme scheme notes.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is investing 拢4 million to support novel engineering projects in radio frequency and microwave devices that will demonstrate the potential of this research field to achieve our Prosperous Nation ambitions.

We want to foster a collaborative approach and build sustainable links across the academic and industrial elements of the research community that will extend beyond the successful projects. Applicants will need to develop a strategy for engaging with other researchers and new potential users, and should consider how to include these activates in their proposal.

Applicants should note the two eligibility requirements below as well as the need to ring-fence 5% of the budget for networking activities.

Once full proposals are submitted they will go directly to postal peer review, before being progressed to a prioritisation panel if reviews are sufficiently supportive.
