TORCH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP SCHEME
This scheme aims to encourage and support collaborations between Oxford researchers in the humanities and international partners. Projects must be strategically shaped to support the wider research environment and multiple areas within the University. Funds are typically for around £2,000-3,000, but projects will be considered for up to £10,000 for larger cross-divisional submissions or where matching funding is available.
Funds need to be spent by 31 July 2019.
