The British Council is pleased to invite researchers from universities in the UK and Israel to apply for funding under the new Britain-Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership.

The aim of the scheme is to strengthen academic cooperation between universities in the UK and Israel through the awarding of grants for joint research in all fields of science: this includes scientific research in both pure and applied science including social sciences and humanities. Grants are available for teams to implement joint research or carry out research planning. There are also a limited number of grants available for eligible individuals to undertake research placements at partner institutions in the UK and Israel.  

Application Deadline: 2 March 2009
