United Kingdom – Iceland Arctic Science Partnership Scheme
Summary
This was an opportunity for researchers based in the United Kingdom and Iceland to make joint applications for bursaries to support active participation in new partnerships in the 2024-25 season.
Background
Researchers in the United Kingdom and Iceland 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 British Embassy in Reykjavik, the UK Science and Technology Network and the NERC Arctic Office, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Icelandic Research Council (Rannís) have funded a UK-Iceland partnerships scheme. This has supported UK and Iceland-based researchers working in Iceland in 2024-25.
The outcomes of the science partnerships scheme are expected to support and further develop lasting research and collaboration links between researchers in the UK and Iceland; to provide new access opportunities for researchers to work with new partners; and develop ideas for future international projects.
