Arts and Humanities researchers have an opportunity to jointly run, with Chinese colleagues, a research Summer School in China during 2010 thanks to funding from the UK Research Councils.

The RCUK Office in China is offering awards up to maximum £12,000 each, to enable travel between UK and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for attendance at activities of the Summer School type, run jointly by a UK centre of excellence and a Chinese centre of excellence linked by a formal research collaboration agreement.

This call gives priority to activities taking place in the PRC. RCUK China expects to fund up to 15 awards depending on the quality of proposals. The deadline for applications is Thursday 22 October 2009.

For more details and the full call please go to our scheme page or http://www.rcuk.cn/rcuk/fore/s_project_cnt_en.php?pro_id=32.
