International Programme / Exchanges / Case Studies

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.

Four reports of projects supported by the RSE are described below. The first from Professor Simmons and Dr Ritchie of Heriot Watt chronicles the founding of a longstanding collaboration with colleagues in Taiwan as a result of initial funding, and the remaining three describe collaborations at earlier stages in their evolution.
