The Royal Society’s Industry Fellowship scheme is open to UK-based academic and industrial researchers from early to senior career stages.
The scheme aims to:
- Support the mobility of excellent researchers between the two sectors in the UK across the natural sciences
- Enable the Industry Fellow to develop and establish collaborative links between the two organisations, which may lead to longer term collaborations
- Support career development of the Industry Fellow and their team
- Enhance knowledge exchange in science and technology between industry and academia.
The Society is keen to encourage applications from the widest range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences to maximise innovation and creativity in science for the benefit of humanity.
Applicants can request up to £168k over the award period. Funding can cover basic salary while on secondment and research expenses up to £4k per year. Awards can be for any period up to 2 years full-time or a maximum of four years pro rata, allowing Industry Fellows to maintain links with their employing institution more easily.
EBNet is well aware of the great value of such fellowships, and warmliy encourages our members in industry and academia to consider this prestigious scheme.
