The Royal Society and the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONCIET) invites applications for the cost-share programme of their international exchanges scheme. This stimulates new collaborations within the natural sciences between scientists in the UK and Argentina.

Eligible research subjects include the following: physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, geography and experimental psychology. Collaborations should be based on a single project.

Both UK and Argentinean applicants must have completed a PhD and must hold a permanent or fixed-term contract in an eligible organisation or research institute.

The Royal Society provides up to £12,000 for the UK team’s airfare and the Argentinean team’s subsistence whilst in the UK. Up to £2,000 of this amount may be spent on research expenses and consumables. An additional £12,000 is available from CONCIET towards the Argentinean team’s airfare to the UK and the UK team’s subsistence whilst in Argentina. Awards are available for a fixed period of two years.

The Royal Society and the National Center for Scientific Research France (CNRS) invite applications for the cost-share programme of their international exchanges scheme. This stimulates new collaborations within the natural sciences between scientists in the UK and France. The natural sciences include physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, the scientific aspects of archaeology, geography and experimental psychology but not social science or clinical or patient-oriented research.

The UK applicant must apply to the Royal Society and the French applicant must apply to CNRS. Both applicants must have completed a PhD or have extensive experience at an equivalent level. They must hold a permanent or fixed term contract at an eligible university or research institute in their country.

The Royal Society provides up to £12,000 for the UK team as a contribution towards their travel and subsistence costs. Up to £2,000 of this amount may be spent on research expenses and consumables. An additional £12,000 equivalent is available from CNRS towards the French team’s travel and subsistence costs. Awards are tenable for two years.

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 £12,000 for the UK team as a contribution towards their travel and subsistence costs. Up to £2,000 of this amount may be spent on research expenses and consumables. An additional £12,000 equivalent is available from RDBR towards the Russian team’s travel and subsistence costs. Awards are available for a fixed period of two years. Projects are expected to start on 10 December 2018.

The Royal Society invites applications for the standard programme of its international exchanges scheme. This stimulates new collaborations within the natural sciences between scientists in the UK and overseas. The scheme covers all areas of the natural sciences including physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, geography and experimental psychology.

Both the UK and partner country project leader must have completed a PhD or have extensive experience at an equivalent level, and hold a permanent or fixed-term contract for the duration of the award at an eligible university or research institute in their country. Retired scientists who are still active in science must submit their application through an eligible UK institute.

The following funding is available:

•up to £3,000 for one-off travel lasting up to three months;

•up to £6,000 for multiple visits to be completed within one year, including a maximum of £1,000 for research expenses;

•up to £12,000 for multiple visits to be completed within two years, including a maximum up £2,000 for research expenses.

Pre-outline, outline and full application stages. There are no deadlines and meetings to consider outlines are held every 2 months.

Programme Grants are a flexible mechanism to provide funding to world-leading research groups to address significant major research challenges. They are intended to support a variety of activities focussing on one strategic research theme. Although it is expected that most proposals will be interdisciplinary and collaborative they can address key challenges in a single discipline.

Applicants must discuss their suitability for Programme Grant funding with an identified EPSRC contact before submitting an Outline application.
