The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) invites applications for its early career researcher international collaboration grants. This enables early career researchers to initiate or develop new international partnerships with researchers overseas. EPSRC expect the proposed collaborative project to present a balance between partnership building activities and direct research, as appropriate, considering the key objectives of the funding opportunity. The total budget is £5 million. The full economic cost of your project can be up to £200,000 with a duration of up to 2 years. EPSRC will fund 80%of the full economic cost. You can request funds for anything eligible under standard EPSRC rules. (Forecasted date).

This funding opportunity is only open to early career researchers who meet the eligibility requirements of the EPSRC New Investigator Award scheme and is based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding. Whether they are successful or unsuccessful, applicants who apply for an early career researcher international collaboration grant are still eligible to apply for a New Investigator Award. Applicants who hold a New Investigator Award but otherwise still satisfy the other New Investigator Award eligibility criteria are still eligible to apply to this funding opportunity. You and your international partners may have a previous relationship, but we do not expect you to have worked together extensively.
