International opportunities
The science that we fund is internationally competitive and a vital part of maintaining our standards is to incorporate overseas collaborations within our research programmes. There are many scientific issues, such as tackling infectious diseases which must be addressed at a global level, and we seek to ensure our research portfolio reflects these demands. The MRC supports UK researchers seeking to collaborate with scientists based overseas in a number of ways:
- EU Framework Programme 7
- Information and practical guidance about Framework Programme 7 funding opportunities
- Horizon 2020
- Information about future funding opportunities under Horizon 2020
- International subscriptions
- Information about European and international funding organisations which the MRC helps to fund on behalf of the UK.
- MRC International Funding
- How the MRC encourages collaborative research across national boundaries
- Innovative Medicines Initiative
- A European collaboration that aims to improve the mechanisms for bringing new medicines to the marketplace
- Other opportunities
- Other organisations that researchers can apply to for international funding
