About this opportunity
The British Council, working with the Higher Education International Unit, and the Thailand Research Fund, have opened a call for proposals for travel grants under the Researcher Links initiative, as part of the Researcher Links - Newton Fund
Researchers based in the UK and in Thailand may apply to spend up to 6 months in a research institution, either in the UK (if researcher is based in a partner country), or Thailand (if researcher is based in the UK).
For further information on the specifics of the call, please visit www.britishcouncil.or.th
Eligibility
• Applicants must be based in the UK or in Thailand. There is no restriction on nationality.
• Only one application can be made per person to/from either Researcher Links - Newton Fund, or Researcher Links partner countries. The same person cannot apply to/from both Researcher Links - Newton Fund and Researcher Links countries.
• This call is restricted to early career researchers, defined as having a PhD and up to 10 years post-doc experience. Consideration is given to those researchers with more than 10 years post-doc experience that have taken a career break. For specific details of who is eligible per country, please see the guidelines document.
• Applicants must have already been awarded a PhD, and PhD students are not eligible.
