EPSRC overseas travel grant: Nov 2023: responsive mode supports UK researchers’ overseas visits to learn new techniques and develop collaborations that add value to research and innovation.
Funder: UK Research and Innovation
Due Dates: Rolling (no closing date)
Funding Amounts: 80% of full economic cost; visits normally limited to six months individually or 12 months cumulatively
Summary: Supports UK researchers visiting overseas to learn new techniques and form or develop collaborations within EPSRC’s remit.
Key Information: Applicants must be based at an eligible UK research organisation; uninvited resubmissions are not accepted.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), funds overseas visits that enable researchers to learn new techniques or form and develop collaborations. This responsive-mode opportunity supports excellent discovery-led research, with the majority of the proposed research falling within EPSRC’s remit.
Supported areas include artificial intelligence, digital security and resilience, energy and decarbonisation, engineering, healthcare technologies, information and communication technologies, manufacturing and the circular economy, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, and quantum technologies. Travel should add value to existing or future research and innovation, promote collaboration, and develop skills. Applicants must explain why the destination’s people and resources are appropriate, why travel is needed now, and why alternatives would not suffice.
