International Partnerships Scheme: Past Awards
The British Academy's Africa Panel developed the UK-Africa Academic Partnerships scheme in 2006, awarding eight awards under the scheme in its first two years. In 2008, schemes were added for the Middle East and South Asia, each giving three awards in the first year.
In 2009, these three schemes merged to become the British Academy's International Partnerships scheme.
