British Council Scotland SGSAH Earth Scholarships 2024, UK.
The British Council Scotland SGSAH EARTH Scholarships initiative, funded by the British Council and administered by SGSAH (Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities), aims to facilitate global research partnerships between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), academic mentors, and external organizations. Focusing on the realm of environmental arts and humanities and their cross-disciplinary intersections, the program strives to underscore the vital role of these fields in addressing the climate emergency and their potential for interdisciplinary research within the framework of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) contexts. By fostering international mobility and research opportunities, the program seeks to cultivate novel strategies to combat the pressing global challenge of the climate crisis while fostering sustainable research and cultural exchanges within the arts, humanities, and cultural sectors.
The program's foundational principles align with SGSAH's commitment to internationalization, are in line with its GREEN/GRADUATE Strategy and Operational Plan, and echo the British Council's Climate Connections legacy initiative. Organized around SGSAH's strategic themes of Environmental Humanities and Creative Industries/Economies, with a specific emphasis on climate emergency issues, the impact of the arts and cultural sector, and the legacy of COP26 (Glasgow, 2021), the program aims to amplify collaborations between Scottish and international HEIs. This initiative builds upon SGSAH's existing Global Connects programs and the SFC Saltire Emerging Researcher scheme.
The program extends scholarships to non-UK-based PhD and Early Career Researchers, inviting them to Scotland for in-person and hybrid exchanges lasting up to three months in 2024, focusing on the domain of environmental arts and humanities. Core to the placements is a two-week cohort-building core leadership program scheduled for April 2024, providing an opportunity for all recipients to connect and collaborate with Scotland-based scholars. These efforts are complemented by thematically and geographically oriented Clusters, enriching the overall research experience.
