The multinational research collaboration programme, with a specific emphasis on the ISPF theme Resilient Planet, serves as a platform to unite researchers, policymakers, and representatives from international organisations. The programme's Year 1 main event spans for three days and encompasses various activities with the aim of identifying needs for future funding streams for international mobility and collaboration.
- An academic symposium will be organised, primarily targeted towards early career researchers but also attended by senior researchers leading plenary sessions at the 3 day workshop. The symposium will provide an opportunity for researchers to showcase their work, discuss emerging trends, and engage in productive dialogue. It aims to foster a supportive environment that empowers early career researchers and encourages their contributions to the field.
- A day of site visits will be arranged for participants to explore universities and research centres. This enables them to gain insights into ongoing research projects, witness state-of-the-art facilities, and potentially discover areas for collaboration.
- A facilitated discussion to scope the needs, priorities and recommendations for Year 2 funded activities including sub-themes and target audience.
The costs of international travel and accommodation for participants will be covered the British Council following agreements in advance with international partner organisations.
