The awards provide up to £25,000 over one year to support collaborations between developing countries and the UK and to hold networking events aimed at addressing global challenges. Round 7 is now open for applications. Deadline 10 September 2020 16.00 (GMT)
The scheme allows researchers from across disciplines and from developing countries and the UK to hold networking events, to forge new links and generate innovative transdisciplinary research ideas to address global challenges. We expect that these new networks will then be better equipped to apply for larger grants offered by the GCRF programme and other funding initiatives.
The goal of the Exploration stream is to inspire high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research.
