International Exchanges Scheme (Cost Share Programme) of the Royal Society

British and Argentine scientists.

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 from CONICET). 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 intended to stimulate new collaborations between a UK based and an overseas researcher. A relationship between both parties should already be established prior to making an application.

(See exact dates in Terms and Conditions)

The call is usually made between the months of abril and mayo of the year before the start of the grant.

Even in the period in which the call is closed, the Terms and Conditions are published permanently for those interested to know them in order to prepare for the next opening.
