Would you benefit from seed funding for joint international research or education-related activities that are at an early stage of development?
The International Office is pleased to announce the launch of a new round of the Global Partnerships Awards.
They are seeking innovative project proposals that clearly state the benefit of the partnership e.g. complementarity of research; internationalising the curricula or student experience; potential of the partnership to grow in scope and depth. Collaborations that have the potential to become game changing in their field are welcome.
To promote the strategic priorities of the University of Southampton and to raise the University’s international profile, funding is available for the scheme:
The Global Partnerships Award offers support to develop joint international research or education-related activities with an international dimension that are at an early stage of development.
Early career researchers (PGRs, postdocs and junior faculty members) can propose virtual collaborative activities to develop new research or educational projects. They might have the opportunity to visit international partners to cultivate research links at an institutional and individual level in 2022. Academic staff might lead workshops between Southampton and priority partner colleagues to develop research, teaching or capacity building projects (with funds of up to £15,000 per project).
Priority is given to proposals that are interdisciplinary and nurture multilateral partnerships committed to excellence. The intention is to seed collaboration with the our priority and Worldwide Universities Network partners.
All funding applications are expected to include planning to establish longer term funding sources to ensure the future sustainability of the relationship. Partnerships with the potential to benefit the wider University community and forge cross-School or Faculty links will be viewed favourably.
The deadline to apply for activities occurring between January 2022 and July 2022 is 12 (midnight) on Thursday 6 January 2022.
