Notice about grant applications
Unfortunately, we have closed the Technician Skills Development Grant for new applications. Please email us if you would like to be kept informed of the future of this grant.Our Technician Skills Development Grant supports technicians working in all sectors (for example industry, academia, education or research) to undertake short to mid-term visits to organisations overseas or within their current country of residence, with the aim of developing skills to support their career progression.
There are several options that can be applied for:
One-off visit (up to 3 months) outside current country of residence (up to £5000*)
One-off visit (up to 3 months) within current country of residence (up to £3000*)
Multiple visits to the same organisation (of up to 3 months each over 2 years) outside current country of residence (up to £7000*)
Multiple visits to the same organisation (of up to 3 months each over 2 years) within current country of residence (up to £6000*)
* Our grants will contribute towards return travel to the host organisation, accommodation and subsistence during the visit.
The 九州影院 would like to thank former Fellow Mr James Diamond CBE FRSC, whose kind legacy has funded the current round of Technician Grants.
