Atiyah UK-Lebanon Fellowships

This fellowship scheme was established in memory of Sir Michael Atiyah (1929-2019), whose father was Lebanese and who maintained strong connections with Lebanon throughout his life. The scheme operates in partnership with the Centre for Advanced Mathematical Sciences at the American University of Beirut. It supports two-way exchanges: UK-based mathematicians can visit Lebanon for periods between one week and six months to deliver lectures, courses, and engage with the Lebanese mathematical community; alternatively, mathematicians from Lebanon at advanced graduate level or above can visit the UK for up to 12 months to further their study or research. The fellowship aims to foster mathematical collaboration and knowledge exchange between the UK and Lebanon. Applications are currently paused due to UK Foreign Office travel advisories for Lebanon.
