The British Academy

UK-Latin America and the Caribbean Link Programme

In an initiative developed by the British Academy's Latin America and the Caribbean Panel, awards of up to £20,000 each are available to support a programme of seminars involving UK and Latin American and Caribbean scholars on a topic of mutual interest within the humanities and social sciences. The Academy encourages applications that bring together scholars from a number of distinct institutions within the UK and across Latin America and the Caribbean. The seminar programme should encompass at least two seminars, one in the UK and one in Latin America or the Caribbean.

Aim of the award

The scheme is intended to encourage interaction between scholars from the UK and Latin America and/ or the Caribbean, bringing together key scholars working on a particular topic in order to foster new links and strengthen existing academic links between the regions.

Scope of the award

The grant is intended to provide a contribution towards the total costs of the seminars (event costs, travel and accommodation expenses for participants on both sides). The seminars are expected to be of relatively small scale: it is envisaged that the grant should cover the costs of about 5 international participants (and perhaps 10 local participants) for each event. The seminars should last approximately two to three days, with 2 or 3 international participants taking part in a one to two week programme around the seminars, intended to provide further teaching or training through additional lectures, seminars or workshops.

Eligibility

Applicants and participants incurring international travel costs must be scholars of postdoctoral or equivalent status (i.e. academic staff with at least one or two years of teaching/research experience). Postgraduate students are eligible for all other costs, such as travel and maintenance expenses within the UK or Latin America and the Caribbean.

Level of Grant

Grants are offered up to a maximum of £20,000 for a programme of 2 seminars.

Closing Date

The closing date for applications is 22 September 2009. Decisions will be announced in December.
