Hi Everyone,

There is an open Newton Fund call in engineering which may be interesting to some of you. They define “engineering” very broadly, including areas such as biotechnology, petrochemicals, offshore engineering, geotechnics, water resources, building services, telecommunications, optics, lasers, information technology, energy
conservation, manufacturing, applied mechanics, bioengineering, materials, aeronautical, maritime, naval.

The open call is for the  Newton Research Collaboration Programme, and the deadline is 26 January.
