Pre-announcement: Africa-UK physics partnership collaborative research projects
3 months ago
Funders:
- Funding Type: Grant
- Total Fund: £5,000,000
Publication Date: 13 May
Opening Date: 9 July 2024 9:00 am UK time
Closing Date: 17 September 2024 4:00 pm UK time
This funding opportunity invites UK and Africa-based researchers to collaborate on physics-led projects related to:
- Climate
- Energy
- Fundamental physics for the African economy
Workshop registration details can be found in the additional information section.
To be eligible, you must be affiliated with a UK research organization eligible for STFC funding and have a project co-lead from an eligible African country.
Projects are expected to commence by March 2025. STFC will cover 80% of the full economic cost (FEC) for projects up to 24 months in duration. International applicants will receive full funding support.
This announcement serves as a prelude and details are subject to change.
Additional Information BackgroundThe Africa-UK Physics Partnership Programme aims to foster collaboration between physicists in the UK and Africa. It seeks to nurture a pool of talented early career researchers who will explore the role of physics in addressing climate change, sustainable energy, and the development of fundamental physics in eligible regions.
The program endeavors to establish fair partnerships between researchers in Africa and the UK. It will tackle existing challenges linked to conducting physics research in sub-Saharan Africa, fostering the exchange of skills, knowledge, and expertise crucial for capacity building and research advancements.
Supported collaborative projects will focus on research areas such as:
- Climate
- Energy
- Fundamental physics for the African economy
This funding opportunity aligns with the UK's commitment to official development assistance (ODA), aiming to enhance the economic development and well-being of developing nations.
Workshop for Potential ApplicantsThe Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), in partnership with the UK Institute of Physics, will host an in-person workshop in Nairobi, Kenya from 10 to 12 July 2024. This event will offer insights into the program's rationale, introduce upcoming collaborative research projects, and facilitate networking opportunities for UK and African physics researchers. STFC will cover travel and accommodation expenses for attendees.
To register for the workshop, kindly complete the form by 31 May 2024 at 4:00 pm UK time to express your interest. Please be aware that STFC may share data with partner organizations, and reserves the right to finalize the list of workshop participants from respective countries.
Participation in the workshop is not obligatory for applying to the funding opportunity.
The workshop aims to unite physics researchers from South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and the UK to initiate collaborations in anticipation of applying for this funding opportunity.
The program is funded through the UK government's International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), managed by the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and executed by a consortium of prominent UK research and innovation entities, including UKRI. This fund supports cooperation between UK scholars and innovators and their global counterparts on crucial themes like planet, health, technology, and talent.
