International Collaboration Funding Scheme
The SLSA invites submissions for this scheme aimed at supporting SLSA members to undertake international collaborative activities that are specifically aimed at building connections with socio-legal scholars and socio-legal communities beyond the UK.
Applications open on 24 June 2024.
See our impact and international collaboration grantholders roll of honour for details of past winners.
The funding can be used to initiate and build new connections as well as strengthen existing relationships with socio-legal scholars or socio-legal communities beyond the UK in order to lay the groundwork for, and develop, new collaborative research initiatives or capacity-building activities.
Each award under the scheme is limited to a maximum of £2,500. The International Fund includes earmarked support for excellent collaborations specifically aimed at involving socio-legal scholars or socio-legal communities located in the Global South.
Note: a proportion of this funding pot is ring-fenced for those in precarious employment.
