The International Collaboration Scheme is designed to offer kickstart funding to foster collaborations between SAGES and ArcticNet colleagues, with the hope that these will serve as proof-of-concept work for longer, in-depth collaborations, publications, and follow-up applications to larger funding schemes.

Funds can be requested for a contribution towards collaborative research expenses. Support can cover fieldwork, purchase lab equipment, contribute to the organisation of a workshop, a visit to a project partner to conduct collaborative laboratory work or finalise a larger grant proposal etc. When travel is involved, we ask applicants to try to minimise the carbon footprint as far as possible. Novel and collaborative ideas that have a clear path to opportunities for building research networks, long lasting collaborations and new funded research streams will be prioritised.

For each successful application, SAGES will fund its member(s) up to £1,000 and ArcticNet will fund up to $CAD1,700 for their members.
