The Newton Institutional Links programme is managed by the British Council, Internationalisation of Higher Education (IHE) team.
Newton Institutional Links grants are intended to provide small-scale seed funding to:
- Initiate new research and innovation collaborations between academic groups, departments and institutions in partner countries and the UK
- Develop existing collaborations at group, departmental and institutional level
- Encourage these collaborations to work with non-academic organisations and individuals to support the exchange of research and innovation expertise and the translation of research knowledge into tangible benefits
- Establish local hubs for UK-partner country activity in a particular area, enabling engagement from the wider research and innovation community.
Please note that matched funding from participating Vietnamese partner institutions is required to meet a minimum of 50% of the total collaboration budget either in terms of cash, or in terms of matched effort.
Please visit Newton Institutional Links programme for more information and to apply for the grant.
