Applications are invited for the British Council Scotland Earth
Scholarships 2023. The Last Date is 01 Nov 2023. The goal of this
effort, which is run by SGSAH and supported by the British Council, is
to make it easier for Ph.D. and Early Career Researchers, Scottish
Higher Education Institutions, academic mentors in Scotland, and outside
organizations to conduct international collaborative research projects.
The program’s major goal is to promote the value of environmental arts
and humanities as well as the larger arts and culture field in
addressing the pressing climate problem. In the context of STEAM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), it emphasizes
their potential for multidisciplinary research.
This program will promote research and global mobility, which will
encourage the development of creative solutions to the global problems
the climate emergency has created. The program also aims to promote
ongoing research and foster cross-cultural interactions inside and
outside the fields of the arts, humanities, and culture.
