Exchanges

One of the main current functions of the International Committee of the RSE is to award short-term travel grants. These aim to enable Scottish researchers to establish links with colleagues abroad with a view to forging long-lasting collaborations. These grants are available to all researchers at postdoctoral level, not only to Fellows of the RSE. They are perhaps particularly appropriate for younger members of research groups in helping establish international links.

Bilateral Programme

Open Programme

NSFC Joint Projects

The RSE’s Joint Project scheme with the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) is designed to facilitate international collaboration between researchers based in Scotland and China. The Joint Project grant provides a maximum of £6,000 per year and the Joint Projects run for two years. The funding may be seen as seed money to enable further collaboration and funding in the future. The collaborations are based on a single project, between a team or individuals based in Scotland and in China. The collaboration involves bilateral exchanges between Scotland and China.
