Santander research mobility awards
What are they?
- Awards up to the value of £1,200 to encourage research collaborations with other institutions in the Santander Universities Network. (*)
- They can be used for inbound or outbound visits and will typically fund travel and accommodation (but other expenditure costs may be considered).
Who can apply?
- University of Sheffield staff and research students who wish to carry out collaborative research with colleagues from a Santander Universities partner.
How do I apply?
- A new round of awards will be advertised in September 2013.
- You might want to take a look at the information for applicants document and application form from last year available to download here. We will be adding updated versions shortly but they are unlikely to change considerably.
How can I develop links with Universities in the Santander Network?
- If you would like an introduction to colleagues in another Santander Universities institution to discuss potential collaborations, this can be arranged.
- Please contact Somer Finlay, s.finlay@sheffield.ac.uk, in the first instance who will then liaise with the Santander team to arrange an introduction.
(*) For details of which institutions are part of the Santander Universities Network download the list of participating universities on the right hand side of this page. The partners in Colombia are not on this list, but are available to download separately.
Latin America, Spain and Portugal are our priority focus areas and preference will be given to applications for collaboration with institutions in these areas.
