Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professorships
These professorships are open to nominations from any University Department or School. Their purpose is to bring distinguished researchers from abroad and elsewhere in the UK to Bristol in order to enhance the research activity of the University.

- 'Medium-term’ visits of one to three months
- ‘Fast-track’ visits of up to four weeks
