Trilateral Workshops bring together early-career researchers from the UK and two partner countries, to allow them to make international connections that can improve the quality of their research. The specific partner countries for this call are Kenya and South Africa.
Joint applications are made by senior researchers from the UK, Kenya and South Africa who lead the workshop. Once funded, grants are available for early-career researchers in the UK and the partner countries to attend and participate.
These grants are funded under the Newton Fund, a UK Government initiative funded by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, together with partner funders from Kenya and South Africa. The Newton Fund aims to promote the economic development and welfare of either the partner countries or, through working with the partner country, to address the problems of low-income and vulnerable populations.
