Going Global Partnerships has launched its new Research Environments grants

These grants provide financial support for capacity-strengthening and collaboration activities to develop and sustain medium- to long-term relationships between institutions in the UK and Egypt, Iraq, Thailand or Turkey.

Funding can be used to establish new research environment connections – or significantly develop existing connections – between research groups, departments or institutions, with the potential for longer-term sustainability.

What is the focus of collaborations?

Research Environment collaborations aim to support capacity strengthening in partner institutions in either Egypt, Iraq, Thailand or Turkey.

They also aim to stimulate longer-term interactions between the partner country and the UK.

Application details

Proposals should be designed by the lead applicant in the partner country, with the support of a UK partner organisation.

Proposals can focus on any discipline or cross-discipline. There are no limits to the type of activities that can be delivered, as long as they respond to country needs.

Size of grant: up to £50,000

Duration of grant: up to 12 months (up to 18 months for projects with Iraq)

ODA requirement: all applications must meet the required relevance to economic development or social welfare
