This opportunity funds overseas visits for UK-based researchers in any area within the remit of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The scheme aims to facilitate international collaboration, the acquisition of new research techniques, and the enhancement of research impact by supporting travel, subsistence, and related costs for discovery-led research projects. The majority of the proposed research must fall within EPSRC’s remit, which includes fields such as artificial intelligence, digital security, energy, engineering, healthcare technologies, ICT, manufacturing, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, and quantum technologies.
