About the Organization

The Royal Society is a Fellowship of many of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.

The Royal Society has three roles that are key to fulfilling its purpose:

Charity: As a registered charity, the Royal Society undertakes a range of activities that provide public benefit either directly or indirectly. These include providing financial support for scientists at various stages of their careers, funding programmes that advance understanding of our world, organising scientific conferences to foster discussion and collaboration, and publishing scientific journals. 

About the Fellowship  

The Newton International Fellowship (NIF) programme provides support for outstanding early career researchers to make a first step towards developing an independent research career through gaining experience across international borders. The fellowships enable researchers to access expertise, gain new perspectives and build long-lasting collaborative relationships.

This scheme is jointly run by the British Academy and the Royal Society.

The overarching aim of the Newton International Fellowship programme is to attract and retain emerging talent in the UK and build a globally connected, mobile research and innovation workforce. The objectives are to:

  • Attract talented international early career researchers to establish and conduct their research in the UK
  • Support early career researchers to pursue high-quality and innovative lines of research
  • Provide opportunities to acquire new skills and knowledge through training and career development
  • Foster long-term relationships through networking opportunities and the Newton International Fellowships alumni programme.

Benefits:

The maximum award value will be £280,000 over two years.

Funds can cover:

  • basic salary as set by the host institution and associated on-costs
  • research expenses
  • relocation and visa costs for Newton International Fellows and their dependents (partner and children). The total grant cap may be exceeded to cover relocation/visa costs if this is well justified in the application
