The British Council Scotland SGSAH EARTH Scholarships is a programme run by SGSAH with funding from the British Council to enable international research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish HEIs and Scotland-based academic mentors, and external organisations, thematically focused on environmental arts and humanities and their interdisciplinary connections. Our ten successful applicants based outside the UK will come to Scotland to undertake in-person and hybrid exchanges for up to 3 months in Spring 2025. During a 10-day cohort programme in April, they will be joined by a group of 10 Scotland-based scholars.
