Fellowships for Mid-Career Academics (UK)

The Commission supports mid-career academics from Developing Countries to spend periods of up to six months in a UK academic institution.

Nominations are made through specific Developing Country universities, who are responsible for advertising the awards. In the case of Bangladesh and India, they are made by the Universities Grants Committee of the country concerned. Sri Lanka nominates through the Ministry of Education and Pakistan through the Higher Education Commission.
