Newton International Fellowship scheme focuses on early career international researchers. The objectives of this scheme are as follows:
- To support the development and training of postdoctoral researchers at an early stage of their career from any country outside the UK, for two years.
- To ensure the best postdoctoral researchers across all relevant disciplines from around the world are supported in the UK.
- To foster long-term relations between Newton International Fellows and the UK research base through the establishment of an alumni program for former Fellows of this Scheme.
- The alumni program includes the possible provision of further funding for Newton International Fellows for follow-on activities, to enable links with UK-based researchers to be maintained and developed.
Subjects Covered
Research must be within the Royal Society’s remit of natural sciences, which includes but is not limited to chemistry, engineering, biological research, mathematics, and physics. For a full list, please check the guidance page.
