The Royal Society Yusuf Hamied Visiting Fellowships

The Yusuf Hamied Visiting Fellowships support the Royal Society's mission to promote excellence in science and the application of science for the benefit of humanity. The programme is generously supported by the Yusuf and Farida Hamied Foundation as part of the Royal Society Yusuf Hamied Programme for India. The scheme supports visits to India of between 3 to 12 weeks, facilitating the exchange of expertise between scientific communities in the UK and India. The Royal Society will help visiting Fellows make arrangements for their return flights (up to a maximum of £5,000) and provides a weekly travel grant of £1,000, calculated pro rata, to cover accommodation, in-country travel, insurance, visa and subsistence costs as well as any project, activity or research costs. Up to five applicants will be selected for the Visiting Fellowships for each round.
