The Trust believes that international understanding and the spread of knowledge can benefit from interchange between academics. They are open to suggestions from national or international bodies for new schemes for which the need can be established. Such proposals should be designed to benefit all the research communities involved. Selection of visitors is normally at the discretion of the staff of the applying institution.
Duration is normally up to three years in the first instance.
Thereafter, they may be renewed at the Trustees' discretion, depending upon the success of the scheme so far and evidence of a continuing need which would not otherwise be met. The Trust will fund travel and maintenance at a realistic level. Students at all levels. Applications should, in the first instance, be by letter to the Trust's Director in not more than 500 words giving the names of the institutions involved, the proposed costs, and describing the special circumstances which make the scheme novel.
