Events in Physics
The Royal Society and the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology invite applications for their cost-share programme of their international exchanges scheme. This stimulates new collaborations within the natural sciences between scientists in the UK and Taiwan, with the aim to build lasting networks and strengthen emerging collaborations. Eligible subjects covered include: physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, geography and experimental psychology.
Collaborations should be based on a single project involving the UK based applicant and the Taiwanese co-applicant. The UK applicant must apply to the Royal Society and the Taiwanese applicant must apply to MOST. Both applicants must have completed a PhD and must hold a permanent or fixed term contract in an eligible organisation in their respective countries. Retired scientists, who are still active in science, may apply. Junior scientists, such as PhD students or postdoctoral researchers, are encouraged to apply.
The Royal Society provides up to 拢12,000 for the UK team鈥檚 airfare to Taiwan and the Taiwanese team鈥檚 subsistence whilst in the UK. Up to 拢2,000 of this amount may be spent on research expenses and consumables. An additional 拢12,000 equivalent is available from MOST towards the Taiwanese team鈥檚 airfare to the UK and the UK team鈥檚 subsistence whilst in Taiwan. Awards are available for a fixed period of two years. Projects are expected to start on 18 March 2019.
