The 2024 British Council Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities Scholarships in Scotland
The 2024 British Council Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities Scholarships in Scotland will be available for applications in the fall of 2024. The Scholarships are planned to support the postgraduate study of students in Scotland researching the Arts and Humanities disciplines, such as history, literature, philosophy, and the creative arts.
The British Council through the Scotland SGSAH is delighted to inform the commencement of application for the British Council Scotland SGSAH Earth Scholarships 2024 for international research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish Institutions.
The scholarship will create research opportunities and international mobility which will develop and support new approaches to tackle the global challenge of the climate crisis and assist sustainable research and cultural interchanges within and beyond the arts, humanities, and cultural sectors.
The programme will offer scholarships for PhD and Early Career Researchers based outside the UK to come to Scotland to undertake in-person and hybrid exchanges for up to 3 months in 2024, in the area of environmental arts and humanities. The research placements will include an in-person 2-week cohort-building core leadership programme where all recipients will come together alongside Scotland-based scholars to network and collaborate in April 2024, supported by a set of thematically and geographically oriented Clusters.
MERITS
The programme is aimed at promoting the role and interventions of the environmental arts and humanities, and the arts and cultural sector in addressing the climate emergency, and their capacity for interdisciplinary research within Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).
