British Council call for ‘Researcher Links’ International Workshops

The British Council has launched a new initiative, ‘Researcher Links’, to link together early career researchers from the UK and selected partner countries through a series of workshops and travel grants.

The British Council is inviting leading, experienced researchers to propose themes for bilateral workshops between the UK and one of the 18 partner countries.

The successful workshop coordinators will have the opportunity to shape the programme, identify contributors and select early career participants for the workshop, discuss their research, and build valuable international relationships.

The 18 countries involved are: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Morocco, Egypt, Qatar, South Africa, Nigeria, Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam and Bangladesh. However, other countries may be brought in subsequently.

The closing date for applications is 14 July 2013.
