British Academy: The UK's National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences
Area Panel for South Asia
The Area Panel for South Asia has established a UK-South Asia Partnership scheme, part of the International Partnerships scheme, to support the development of ongoing links between UK and South Asian research centres or institutions, within the humanities and social sciences.
The link shall be built around a specific research theme of mutual interest. This could be carried forward through
- visits in both directions;
- workshops;
- seminars and lecture programmes;
- collaborative research; and joint publications.
The programme might form part of either institution's training programme. Preference might be given to applications where more than one South Asian country is involved.
