This scheme is for scientists in the UK who want to stimulate new collaborations with leading scientists overseas through either a one-off visit or bilateral travel.

The scheme covers all areas of the life and physical sciences, including engineering, but excluding clinical medicine.

The International Exchanges Scheme is available for travel to all countries outside of the UK.

Applicants should ensure that they meet all the eligibility requirements, which are explained in the standard programme scheme notes (PDF).

The funding available is dependent upon the length of the visit.

Closing date 23rd October 2013
