Description
This scheme funds short-term international travel for UK researchers supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The aim is to foster new or strengthen existing international collaborations, facilitate access to overseas facilities or techniques not available in the UK, and support UK participation in European consortia-building events. The award is strictly for travel and subsistence for a single visit of up to one month, and is designed to advance UK bioscience by promoting global engagement, knowledge exchange, and responsible international collaboration.
