Newton Fund Researcher Links Workshop Grants

SA/UK Newton Researcher Links Workshop Grants Call Open

Newton Researcher Links Workshops bring together researchers from the United Kingdom and South Africa to allow them to make international connections that can improve the quality of their research.
