This programme enables outstanding scholars from overseas (active at any career stage and in any discipline within the humanities and the social sciences) with the opportunity to be based in the UK for a period of up to six months, working with UK colleagues to develop new research collaborations and/or deepen existing partnerships. The Visiting Fellowships are supported by the UK Government's Rutherford Fund which aims to help maintain the UK’s position as a world leader in research by attracting highly skilled researchers to the UK.

- Foster opportunities and develop future partnerships for collaborative research in the humanities and the social sciences, and enable academics from across the globe to undertake research and/or professional development with UK colleagues;
- Strengthen the UK’s research base in the humanities and the social sciences.
