Researcher Exchange Programme 2007

The British Council is announcing a call for proposals under its initiative aimed at supporting new links between early stage researchers in the UK and in other countries.

The Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is a £250,000 initiative that provides individual researchers with awards covering travel and subsistence costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific collaborations and contacts through exchange visits of between one week and three months’ duration.

The research link can be in any area of science, engineering and technology, including social sciences and humanities.

The term 'early stage researcher' refers to researchers at the beginning of their research careers.

The applicant must have:

• either obtained a doctoral qualification or be within twelve months of obtaining a doctoral qualification.
• no more than two years full tenure in a university or research institute. 
• no more than six years overall active researcher experience.
  The maximum award that can be applied for is £5,000.

Please note that more than one researcher from the same sending or receiving research group can apply for an award, but each must submit a separate application.

The closing date for applications is 2 June 2007.

The applications should be sent to: rosana.besednik@britishcouncil.hr
