This enables scientists to present and discuss new research in all areas of science during a two-day meeting held at the Royal Society at Chicheley Hall for audiences of up to 80. Funding contributes to travel and expenses for organisers, speakers and chairs, and the society provides the venue, facilities and catering.

The Engineering an Physical Sciences Research Council invites applications for its feasibility studies, under its ENCORE Network+ project. This aims to explore the opportunities presented by the developments in complexity science to improve the resilience and performance of complex engineering systems, such as cities, energy and digital systems, space launch and recovery systems an jet engines.

Individuals and groups with affiliation to UK universities may apply.

The total budget is worth up to £40,000. Four to eight feasibility studies will be funded for a duration of up to six months. Projects must start no later than 5 June 2017 and applicants are encouraged to explore the possibility of matched funding.

The Royal Society invites applications for its pairing scheme. This aims to give policy makers and research scientists an opportunity to experience each other’s worlds. Research scientists are paired with UK parliamentarians and civil servants to learn about each other’s work by spending time together in Westminster and at the researchers’ institutions. The scheme begins with a Week in Westminster in which the pairs first meet and take part in workshops, hear from invited speakers and spend two days shadowing their pair. Then the parliamentarians and civil servants to get an insight into the world of research by undertaking reciprocal visits with their pairs.

Scientists across all science, technology, engineering, medicine and mathematics disciplines working in academia or industry are eligible to apply. They must have at least two years’ postdoctoral research experience or equivalent research experience in industry. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate good communication skills and an ability to communicate their research to a lay audience.

30 research scientists per year are expected to participate in the scheme.

The Royal Society hosts a . Each meeting is organised by leaders in the field, using their expertise to ensure the key topics are covered. The focus on discussion throughout the meeting allows everyone, at any stage of their scientific career, to get involved in the conversation.

Our scientific programme offers a unique opportunity for you to present an international, two-day conference in your field, with the chance for publication in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society following the event. Responding to the needs of the scientific community through an open call, proposing a Royal Society scientific meeting will allow you to influence the agenda in your area

The Royal Academy of Engineering invites applications for its distinguished visiting fellowships. These enable an academic engineering department in a UK university to be a host for up to a month to an expert from an overseas academic centre of excellence. Activities may include:

•working collaboratively on joint papers and research proposals to tackle ambitious research problems or challenges, both within the host department and also through the involvement of other UK universities and UK industries;

•delivering lectures, presentations, seminars, demonstrations, and expert workshops to graduates, undergraduates, members of the host faculty and academics from other UK institutions;

•guiding the design and delivery of new teaching modules or programmes;

•establishing project consortia to work collaboratively on ambitious joint research projects.

Applications are accepted from academics who are employed by the UK host university. The visitor must be currently employed by a non-UK overseas academic centre of excellence in engineering, which includes governmental research organisations. Applicants from commercial centres of excellence are not eligible.

Fellowships are worth up to £6,000 each, and include the cost of one return air fare, accommodation and a daily allowance to cover incidental expenses. All visits must take place between 1 August 2017 and 31 December 2017.

The Global Partnership Fund is designed to support the development of partnerships with leading universities and research institutes in China, India, Indonesia, Singapore and South Korea. Within those countries, priority will be given to collaborations with the following institutions:

 China: Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Sun Yat-sen University, Tsinghua University , Peking University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)

 Indonesia: Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Universitas Indonesia (UI), Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI)

 South Korea: KAIST, Seoul National University (SNU)

 India: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Delhi University, TISS Mumbai, IIT (Bombay and Madras), Shiv Nadar University, Ashoka University

 Singapore: Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS)

Colleagues seeking funding for collaborations with European institutions should explore possibilities for funding via the Research Development Fund or the Institute for Advanced Study. 糖心TV's European Strategy Team also have funding to support the development of collaborations with institutions in Brussels and elsewhere in Europe.

Eligibility

The Global Partnership Fund is open to staff from all academic Departments and Centres, with particular encouragement given to inter- and multi-disciplinary proposals that foster collaboration between Departments and Faculties. The project lead must be a permanent or fixed-term member of academic staff (with at least 12 months left on employment contract as of 1st August 2017, ending no earlier than the end of the period for which funds are awarded). Strong preference will be given to projects that will be likely to promote sustained collaborative activity beyond the end point of the award period.

The Global Partnership Fund will consider applications in the following two categories:

 New: scoping activities for a new collaboration

 Early stage: collaborations which are seeking to develop beyond their current activities

Criteria

There will be four main criteria used to evaluate applications to the Global Partnership Fund. The proposal should demonstrate that the initiative:

1. reflects scholarly excellence

2. is innovative

3. has a strategic focus

4. has long-term potential
