>UK-Africa Academic Partnerships
>
>Two awards of up to £10,000 a year for up to
>three years are available to support the
>development of ongoing links between UK and
>African research centres or institutions, within
>the humanities and social sciences. The link
>would be built around a specific research theme
>of mutual interest. This could be carried
>forward through visits in both directions;
>workshops; seminars and lecture programmes;
>collaborative research; and joint publications.
>The programme might form part of either
>institution's training programme and will
>ideally involve participation from more than one
>African institution, and might also involve more
>than one department/university/group/research centre in the UK.
>
>Aim of the award
>The scheme is intended to foster UK-Africa
>links, with an emphasis on helping scholars in
>the UK and Africa to develop research skills and
>to produce a joint research outcome.
>
>Scope of the award
>Priority will be given to projects with a
>training element, such as the support and
>development of staff or postgraduate students
>(in the UK and in Africa). Visits might be
>undertaken for staff exchange, supplying
>teaching elements to courses and developing
>joint curricula. Workshops and seminars should
>form an integral part of the programme, and
>involve both staff and postgraduate students. It
>is expected that each programme should produce
>papers or some other joint research outcome designed for publication.
>
>If the object of the collaboration is
>exclusively research, the UK applicant should
>apply instead to the Academys Research Grant scheme:
