The British Council, in partnership with National Research Council Thailand (NRCT) and Program Management Unit for Human Resources & Institutional Development, Research and Innovation (PMU-B), invite applications from UK and Thai institutions for the International Research Empowerment Programme supported by the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology's International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) under the ISPF thematic priority ‘Tomorrow’s Talents’.
Aligning with the British Council’s mission to connect the UK with international partners through meaningful people-to-people connections across borders, the opportunity aims to address several critical priorities within the realm of international research collaboration through capacity strengthening.
Countries initially joining this call include Malaysia, Thailand, Türkiye, and Viet Nam.
Grants up to £80,000 will be available for funding capacity strengthening activities under four priority areas:
- Foster better engagement and management practices in international research collaborations.
- Support Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in international research endeavours.
- Promote capacity strengthening and knowledge exchange in interdisciplinary research.
- Create opportunities for researchers and institutions to engage with communities, policymakers, and translate research into societal benefits.
This online information session aims to provide related information in applying the IREP programme including the overview and how to apply. The session will be recorded and conducted in Thai.
