British Academy: The UK's National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences
Area Panel for Middle East and North Africa
The Area Panel for the Middle East and North Africa has established a UK-Middle East Capacity Sharing Partnerships scheme, which later became part of the International Partnerships scheme, to support the development of ongoing links between UK and the Middle Easy and North Africa research centres or institutions, within the humanities and social sciences. Though these schemes are no longer running, similar provision is provided through the British Academy's International Partnership and Mobility scheme.
