description
The EPSRC is the UK Government’s leading funding agency for research and training in engineering and the physical sciences.
The EPSRC will consider small proposals requesting funds for travel and subsistence in order to visit recognised centres abroad to study new techniques or to develop collaborations.
UK researchers may use overseas travel grants to start or foster international collaborations to develop high-quality bids to the EU Framework Programmes. The application should address how the grant will help develop collaborations with European researchers for a Framework Programme bid.
As long as the visit is to a recognised research centre there are no restrictions on which countries can be visited. But OTGs are exclusively for travel abroad, outside the UK (an investigator can apply for funding for researchers from abroad to visit the UK as a visiting researcher on a research grant proposal).
There is no set limit on the amount of funding. In addition to travel and subsistence, the principal investigator can request funds to cover salary and indirect costs. But funding is not available through this scheme to specifically support sabbatical absences or conference attendance. Consumables and equipment (e.g., laptops) are not covered under this scheme.
The OTG should normally be for the support of the named principal investigator only. Support for other staff such as PhD students and researcher co-investigators can be requested although their inclusion should be fully justified.
Overseas Travel Grant proposals may be submitted at any time through responsive mode. Proposals should, in general, be made at least 12 weeks before the proposed visit to allow time for assessment and processing variations.
