The Newton International Fellowship (NIF) programme provides support for outstanding non-UK ECR applicants to conduct research in the UK. The programme seeks to assist those who wish to make a first step towards developing an independent research career through gaining international experience. The fellowships enable researchers to access expertise, gain new perspectives and build long-lasting collaborative relationships.
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.
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.
