The Royal Society invites applications for the standard programme of its international exchanges scheme. This supports scientists based in the UK who want to stimulate collaborations with leading scientists overseas. The scheme covers the natural sciences including biological research, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics, but excluding clinical medicine. Funds may be used for a one-off short visit to explore opportunities for building lasting networks or for bilateral visits to strengthen emerging collaborations.

Agriculture; Archaeology; Biological Sciences; Immunology; Nutrition & Dietetics; Pharmacy & Pharmacology; Physical Sciences and Engineering; Psychology, Psychiatry & Neuroscience; Public Health, Health Services & Primary Care; Soil Sciences

Applications for collaborations with all countries outside the UK are accepted. Both the UK and partner country project leader must have completed a PhD or have extensive experience at an equivalent level, and hold a permanent or fixed-term contract for the duration of the award at an eligible organisation in their respective countries. The UK based scientist or project leader will serve as the lead applicant. Retired scientists who are still active in science must submit their application through an eligible UK institute. Ineligible organisations include industrial, private and commercial organisations, university spin-out companies and governmental bodies. Collaborations should be based on a single project.
