The Academy's international activities fall into two main areas:
Academic research is a worldwide undertaking. The Academy's international funding and policy programmes help to create opportunities for UK researchers overseas, build international collaboration, attract outstanding international talent to the UK, and facilitate dialogue and understanding across cultural and national boundaries. Our international priorities are:
- Representation: providing leadership by helping to shape international research funding and governance frameworks, and engaging with local scholars overseas via Academy-sponsored institutes and societies.
- Partnerships: working with key UK and overseas partners and international organisations to support and stimulate policy formation, research collaboration and international exchanges and networks.
- Research facilitation and funding: providing channels and resources for individual UK researchers to carry out research on and in other countries, and enabling overseas researchers to engage with scholars in the UK.
- Communication: initiating and influencing debates in the UK and overseas that address global challenges; promoting the international impact of UK research.
