The awards provide up to £25,000 over one year to support collaborations between researchers in other countries and the UK, and to hold networking events aimed at strengthening global research capacity. This will allow UK-based researchers and innovators to collaborate with international partners on multidisciplinary projects. Furthermore, it will help the UK and its partners to deliver bigger, better science than one country can do alone. The grants will help to: Deliver important science that can only be fully realised by working internationally. Tackle global challenges and develop future technologies, positioning UK researchers and innovators at the heart of global solutions. Enable international partners to collaborate in an agile way. Strengthen the influence and connections of the UK Research and Development (R&D) community domestically and around the world.
