-Applications must be started by the applicant on behalf of the co-applicant and the respective teams, i.e. the application must be initiated through the Flexi-Grant® application portal of the
applicant, which can be accessed when logged onto the system.
-Applicants are not permitted to submit more than one application per round (deadline).
-Holders of a current International Exchanges award with the same overseas country as the (proposed) application cannot apply until the project has ended, the final research report has been submitted to The Royal Society, the final statement of expenditure (financial report) has
been submitted to The Royal Society and any unspent amount of money of the current International Exchanges award has been refunded to The Royal Society.
-Visiting academics who have been invited by an eligible UK institution are ineligible.
-Honorary academics of an eligible UK institution are ineligible.
-Retired scientists who are still active in science must submit their application through an eligible UK institute. If this is not possible please contact us for further advice at least two weeks before the deadline.

The International Exchanges Scheme is designed to offer a flexible platform for UK based scientists to interact with the best scientists around the world (including the argentinian scientists). Funds for a contribution towards travel, subsistence and research expenses can be requested for either a one-off short visit to explore opportunities for building lasting networks or for bilateral visits to strengthen emerging collaborations.
This scheme is not intended to support continued research activities between a UK applicant and a co-applicant who was a former
colleague or PhD student or to support other existing or recent collaborations between the applicant and co-applicant. Rather, the scheme is intended to stimulate new collaborations between scientists in the UK and overseas.
