2025 Travelling Fellowships    

£10,000

Deadline 31 October 2024

2025 Stapledon Travelling Fellowships Awards NOW OPEN. Applications invited for visits to or from the UK/Ireland and other countries to undertake studies, develop innovation, skills, networking on any aspect of grasslands, including production, amenity, social economic and environmental purposes  

 A maximum of £10,000 is available for a project.  

Priority is given to younger and mid-career individuals  who present well costed applications with clear proposals. Projects should be challenging but feasible within the time available and the experience and skills gained from the Fellowship should aim to enhance career development. 

UK/Ireland based applicants can apply to visit any other country. Non-UK applicants can only apply for a Fellowship to visit the UK or Ireland. The deadline is 31 October 2024*. 

Potential applicants should discuss their proposals with their intended host before applying so the application presents a clear plan of the intended project. Applicants will be asked to outline carbon mitigation from any air travel. All applications for UK/Irish visits should be submitted through their home institution.  

Awards are not available to support core PhD studies, but can be used for additional work. Funds are not available to just attend conferences, although the timing of a Fellowship visit may be arranged to take advantage of conferences. 

Application is simple. If you need help or advice in your application please contact
