EPSRC working with overseas scientists: Nov 2023: responsive mode

Working with overseas scientists grants enable researchers at eligible UK research organisations to collaborate with international partners through EPSRC's lead agency agreements. These agreements allow researchers to submit a single collaborative application with a joint funding decision, informed by a single lead agency review, thereby reducing barriers to international collaboration. The UK partners work with researchers in Ireland, Luxembourg, Brazil, Germany and the US through EPSRC's lead agency agreements, with the majority of the UK research falling within EPSRC remit. EPSRC will award 80% of the full economic cost (FEC) of the UK costs of the project, while overseas partners are funded by their relevant overseas agencies. Applications to collaborate with the US require submission of an expression of interest and invitation before submitting a full application, while collaborations with Germany, Luxembourg, Ireland, or Brazil do not require an expression of interest. This responsive mode funding opportunity supports excellent discovery-led research across EPSRC's remit areas including artificial intelligence, digital security, energy, engineering, healthcare technologies, ICT, manufacturing, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, and quantum technologies.
