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. Eligible research subjects include the following: physics; chemistry; mathematics; computer science; engineering; agricultural, biological and medical research; the scientific aspects of archaeology, geography and experimental psychology.
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.
The Royal Society provides up to £12,000 for the UK team’s airfare to Taiwan and the Taiwanese team’s subsistence whilst in the UK. Up to £2,000 of this amount may be spent on research expenses and consumables. An additional £12,000 equivalent is available from MOST towards the Taiwanese team’s airfare to the UK and the UK team’s subsistence whilst in Taiwan. Awards are available for a fixed period of two years.
