The Royal Society‘s Faraday Discovery Fellowships are prestigious long-term awards that support the most talented research leaders to undertake high-quality, original research. The Accelerated International Route, established in 2025, is intended for outstanding international researchers nominated by their UK host organisation, and will run for two years.
The fast-track programme will provide grants of up to £4m over a five-year period to support the development of world-leading research groups in the UK. It is expected that institutions will use these awards to make strategically important appointments, attracting leading researchers from overseas.
