The University of Bristol has a proud legacy of international research development, bringing world-leading scholars into our institution from all over the world hosted by our own prestigious academics to develop their research in collaboration with each other.
The International Research Development team has a variety of schemes on offer for researchers, designed to support collaboration at a range of scales. Our Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor programme has had fantastic success over the decades, and a revised version of this scheme now sits in complement to new and reenergised international research collaboration awards. These schemes have been designed to foster international development which lead to collaborative funding bids, co-authored publications, policy impacts, and long-term relationships between individuals and institutions.
So whether you’re looking to spend a couple of weeks developing new collaborative research projects with international partners, co-host an international workshop, or spend a longer period of time working with some of the world’s leading academics we should be able to help.
