Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is aimed at supporting new links between early stage researchers in the UK and in other countries.
The programme provides individual researchers with awards covering travel and subsistence costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific collaborations and contacts through exchange visits of between one week and three months’ duration.
The research link can be in any area of science, engineering and technology, including social sciences and humanities.

To celebrate the forthcoming anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, this year we would also like to invite researchers to apply for our special Darwin RXP awards. If you are a researcher in areas related to evolutionary theory and Darwin’s legacy you can apply for a special RXP award.
Evolutionary theory has also challenged orthodoxy in disciplines across the arts, humanities and the social as well as natural sciences. Given the pervasive influence of Darwin’s ideas, we would also welcome applications from researchers in these and other areas. |
The term 'early stage researcher' refers to researchers at the beginning of their research careers.
The applicant must have:
|
 |
|
either obtained a doctoral qualification or be within twelve months of obtaining a doctoral qualification. |
|
|
|
no more than two years full tenure in a university or research institute. |
|
|
|
no more than six years overall active researcher experience. |
The maximum award that can be applied for is £5,000.
More than one researcher from the same sending or receiving research group can apply for an award, but each must submit a separate application.
