The Global Engagements (GE) fund supports Strathclyde Staff to develop and enhance strategic, sustainable, and mutually beneficial collaborations with leading academic institutions and organisations outside of the United Kingdom.  The main aim of the fund is to contribute towards the University’s strategic plan targets, such as increased international research income and internationally co-authored publications, as well as continuing to deliver on the University's overall vision as a Leading International Technological University.



Applications are assessed on a rolling basis, and staff can apply for up to 3000GBP to support international collaborations e.g., building new collaborations, escalating engagements and hosting overseas visitors. More information can be found at the RKES portal.
