FAPESP and the King’s College London (KCL), from the UK are accepting proposals for the interchange of researchers within the range of scientific cooperation. Inscriptions can be made up to July 5.
The King’s College London is the fourth oldest university in England. It is considered to be one of the 25 most important universities in the world (according to the Times Higher Education 2009). Devoted to research, KCL is located in central London, hosting about 23 thousand students from almost 140 countries.
The following page is available for the exchange of information among British researchers: www.kcl.ac.uk/research/funding/brazil.html.
The agreement between the institutions is also available at www.kcl.ac.uk/research/groups/brazilinstitute/funding/fapesp-kings.html.
The British institution recommends researchers linked to the King’s College London who understand Portuguese to obtain a subscription of Agência FAPESP so that they can understand best the novelties about Brazilian science.
This interchange is open to every field of knowledge, either scientific or technological. Researchers responsible for supports provided by FAPESP can take part of the experience as they are in force for the modalities Research Support – Regular and Thematic, Support to Young Researchers or Research Centers, Innovation and Broadcast (Cepids). For the specific Thematic cases, main researchers can also present their proposals.
Each proposal for the open interchange can last up to 24 months. FAPESP and KCL will provide up to 6 thousand pounds yearly through the term established by the concession, which are necessarily and exclusively destined to mobility expenses (traveling tickets, accommodation, and health insurance).
For the approved applications, FAPESP will provide resources for the purchase of air tickets, health insurance and accommodation for the support of researchers from the state of São Paulo in the United Kingdom.
The KCL will provide resources for the purchase of air tickets, health insurance and accommodation for the support of researchers from the United Kingdom in the state of São Paulo.
The proposals must be presented simultaneously by the researcher from the state of São Paulo to FAPESP and by the corresponding colleague in the UK to the KCL. Both parties will select the proposals according to a specific analytical system. Only the proposals approved by both parties will receive financial support. The proposals must be submitted in English.
