The purpose of the grants available within this portfolio of opportunities is:
- to enable researchers to interact and build strong ongoing collaborations with their international counterparts;
- in so doing to build South African research capacity by enhancing existing and developing new collaborations;
- to facilitate the exposure of local researchers to top international expertise;
- to build and develop networks;
- to strengthen the international research experience for young researchers;
- to assist in the arrangement of high level scientific events; and
- to facilitate multi-use of research equipment and the training of individuals in the use of sophisticated research equipment.
NRF support for "Knowledge interchange and collaboration" can be divided into two primary clusters:
- Travel Grants:
These grants are intended to assist researchers to travel (primarily internationally) and to bring in foreign visitors - in order to foster the exchange of information, collaboration and optimum use of facilities and opportunities. Within the Travel Grants cluster, the following mechanisms of support exist:
- NRF Grant-linked Travel Grants
- Block Grants
- Free Standing Travel Grants
- Directed Travel Grants.
- Scientific Events:
These grants are intended to provide support for the organisation of conferences, workshops and training courses.
