United Kingdom – Greenland Arctic Research Bursaries Scheme 2024-25
Summary
This was an opportunity for United Kingdom-based researchers to apply for bursaries ranging from £5,000 to a maximum of £20,000 to support active participation in new joint partnerships with researchers based in Greenland in the 2024-25 season.
Background
Researchers in the United Kingdom and Greenland are well-placed to develop important new science partnerships that address pressing research questions. These partnerships can support the development of skill- and knowledge-based networks to strengthen both communities; foster the creation of positive, respectful and empowering partnerships; and create lasting research connections.
The United Kingdom’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology – working with the Greenlandic Research Council, the UK Science and Technology Network and the NERC Arctic Office – funded a bursaries scheme which began in 2023.
The outcomes of the bursaries programme are expected to support and further develop lasting research and collaboration links between UK-based and Greenland-based researchers; to provide opportunities for UK-based researchers to work with new partners in Greenland; and develop ideas for future international projects.
