The aims of the scheme are:
- To provide visiting researchers with hands-on experience in scientific analysis linked to the applicant's field of research.
- To develop skills, knowledge and resources in the Global South for archaeological science.
- To enhance durable and equitable partnerships between the University of York and the visitor's home organisation in line with our ambitions for equitable and responsible research.
We will select applicants based on the intended benefits to the visitor and host, feasibility and overall fit with consideration to equality, diversity and inclusion. The visiting researcher will be expected to give a short informal presentation during their stay outlining their research interests to foster further collaborations. To facilitate further collaboration the visitor will obtain ‘visiting researcher’ status for one year enabling access to our online resources.
The scheme is funded by Research England “Enhancing Research Culture Funding 2023-24”.
