[Academic] Fwd: FW: Collating details of possible projects for Turing bid - response required by Fri 26 March

[Brian]

Dear All,

Please see below information on possible bids for the new Turing Scheme 
which will replace the EU Erasmus scheme. Please note the very short 
timescale for return of details of possible projects - this *Friday, 26 
March*.

Regards,

Brian.

Dear DoTs, Erasmus Coordinators and Kylie,

You may have heard of the Turing Scheme which the government is 
introducing to fund work/placement opportunities (further details are in 
the attachment). RIO are making an institutional bid for funds and have 
asked Faculties to provide details of projects which could be included 
in their bid. In addition to the info in the attached I asked for some 
further clarification of what can be included and the answers are below.

  * They are looking for information on summer projects, which fall
    outwith the standard Erasmus and Study Abroad student exchanges and
    are 4 weeks or longer
  * This will provide students with a grant to take part (but this
    doesn’t cover any tuition fee if they are studying at another
    institution which requests a fee). However RIO may be able to make a
    contribution to any tuition fee required through support money (not
    guaranteed)
  * This can include students on a research project at another HEI.
  * Placements/projects not at an HEI also count (e.g. if Physics
    students were invited to CERN, Switzerland)
  * If it were a work placement where students were getting paid they
    would still be eligible. If there were limits of funding, those that
    were not paid would get priority, but worth including.

Lorraine/Lynn - Kate in RIO mentioned that some of the Chemistry year 
out placements that are to Switzerland that could be funded by Turing – 
could you submit information on these?

Information on how to submit your projects is in the email below. Could 
I ask that you submit any projects which you think could be included by 
their deadline of Friday 26^th March? Please direct any questions to 
Kate/Allison.

Thanks,

Christine.

Hi Christine and Michelle

We have created a form for collating details of possible projects to be 
included in this year’s Turing bid.

Turing Activity Form 
<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx%3Fid%3DYwceYzMV60elzQRXvuWUTi7-L_9bu7tLjJrsmZtsQY9UOEVUSUZQVlBPUDVTMllNRzcxU1BZV0FNNCQlQCN0PWcu&data=04%7C01%7Cb.w.j.mcneil%40strath.ac.uk%7Cce3843a311674ffc194408d8ed2de76e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637520129187298174%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=qNO3pSmzgyHd1czlCEPAnpwhmGML3OSM7K%2BcZBlP4L4%3D&reserved=0>

We’re aiming to collect responses by next *_Friday 26 March_* to give us 
time to include them in the application which opened last Friday and 
closes on *Friday 9 April at noon*.  So it opened earlier than 
anticipated when we met last week!

I’m also attaching a copy of the summary outlining the criteria and main 
aims and objectives of the programme in case you wish to circulate this 
to departments.

Michelle – we’ve been in touch with David Roxburgh and he has already 
supplied details of his Summer 2022 projects so we’re good with that.

If any departments have any queries about the programme, please direct 
them back to Kate and I.

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine in the meantime!

Best.

Allison
