Aims
This scheme aims to help strengthen the
research and innovation capacity of researchers from partner countries (
Thailand is a partner) by assisting them in visiting or sending staff and
students to the UK.
In
the UK they can develop networks, research projects and partnerships with their
UK hosts and the wider UK research and innovation community.
The scheme is intended to stimulate new
collaborations between scientists in the UK and overseas partner countries
which result in the transfer of knowledge and help strengthen research
capabilities between partners, and contribute to promoting economic development
and social welfare in the overseas country.
The awards will also initiate the
development of longer-term links between the overseas and UK researchers.
