The Talented Researcher Programme (TRP) is part of the INSPIRE initiative from the British Council which aims to increase the sharing of ideas, knowledge and expertise through international research and teaching collaboration between the UK and selected countries in the Central & South Asia Region: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
The purpose of the Talented Researcher Programme is to support early stage researchers, aimed mainly at doctorate and post graduate level students. It aims to equip individuals with valuable skills they need to build international research careers, sustain research networks and to encourage international collaboration.
A group of 32 young researchers from Central and South Asia attended a training event in February 2010 at London, UK. The training event was titled as’ Building a successful international research career’. It provided a great opportunity for early-stage researchers from the UK and Central and South Asia to develop their skills in multiple areas and become a part of a wider community of young researchers. The participants are now collaborating with each other through a face book group for exchange of ideas and sharing learning practices, which can be viewed here.
