Visiting Scholarships Scheme

Visiting Scholarships Scheme 

The Visiting Scholarships Scheme has reopened. The deadline for applications is 15 February 2020. Any applications received after 23:59 on that date will not be considered. 

Applications received before the deadline will enter the review process and results will be announced in due time. 

 

The Joint Visiting Scholarships Scheme aims to enhance the capacity of Iraqi, Iranian, Lebanese and Turkish scholars to engage in the sustainable development of cultural heritage. It enables academics, cultural heritage professionals, and NGO workers to visit the UK for 1-2 months for training and research.

The Visiting Scholarships Scheme is run jointly by the Nahrein Network with:

• The British Institute for the Study of Iraq (BISI).
• The Iran Heritage Foundation (IHF)
• The Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL)
• The British Institute at Ankara (BIAA)
