description
The Royal Society of Edinburgh is keen to facilitate, encourage, and support research collaboration in all areas between Scottish and overseas research groups. The object of the International Exchange Programmes funded by the Scottish Executive is to enable scholars and researchers to come to Scotland or to visit overseas from their Scottish academic base for a short period of time with a view to establishing ongoing collaboration.
Visits should be one to four weeks in duration. For visits to countries where the Royal Society of Edinburgh does not have formal links, the RSE will pay the cost of APEX or equivalent fares plus travel to and from the UK departure point as well as local costs (accommodation, subsistence, and local travel). Applicants are strongly advised to keep costs low by arranging reasonably priced accommodation with their hosts, preferably in university halls of residence or local guesthouses. Excessive requests will be scaled down. For such visits the award does not cover any costs associated with visas, accompanying dependants, bench fees or laboratory costs, conference fees, insurance, or medical expenses.
Researchers must have postdoctoral status or equivalent at the time of travel.
Researchers going from Scotland must be working in a Scottish research institution and visiting researchers must be hosted by academics in Scotland.
