The British Academy‘s International Partnerships Scheme is now open for applications. These awards are available to support the development of ongoing links between research centres or institutions, within the humanities and social sciences in the UK and in Africa, the Middle East or South Asia, with an emphasis on helping scholars to develop research skills and to produce a joint research outcome.
The link would be built around a specific research theme of mutual interest, and could include visits, workshops, seminars, lecture programmes, collaborative research and joint publications. The programme might form part of either institution’s training programme and will ideally involve participation from more than one overseas institution, and might also involve more than one department/university/group/research centre in the UK.
Priority will be given to projects with a training element, such as the support and development of staff or postgraduate students (in the UK and overseas). The scheme is intended to benefit early-career scholars from both the UK and overseas, and projects will be highly regarded where they include junior academics from both sides.
Maximum Award: £10 000 per year for a period of up to three years
Deadline: 20th April 2010
