Guidance for applications
Applicants are encouraged to review our European Partnerships to identify potential partner organisations with whom they wish to pursue links.
Applicants can apply for awards of up to £2,500 to cover 80% of the cost for two researchers to visit nominated partner(s). Applicants will be required to contribute 20% to the overall costs of proposed activities. Anticipated costs must be clearly described in the application form and all expenditure must take place before 31 October 2024, with a final report and cost related receipts submitted by 15 December 2024.
Guidance on 80% funding arrangement for research and academic staff in UK-based Higher Education Institutions (HEIs):
This scheme provides funding at 80% in line with standard full economic costing allocations for UKRI funding. The scheme only funds travel and no overheads, in line with the UKRI terms and conditions for our GPA (Global Partnering Award). We suggest applicants in UK HEIs contact their local research office, line manager or Head of Department/School to request the additional 20% from internal ‘QR’ *, overheads or research support funding, making the case for the benefit of the scoping visits for the development of your career, network, research activities and profile.
* Quality-related (QR) funding:

If awarded, funds will be paid in arrears to the UK partner institution.
