Additionally, the scholarship will support sustainable research as well as cultural exchanges within and beyond the arts, humanities, and cultural sectors.

The program will offer financial assistance to PhD students and early career researchers who are based in countries other than the United Kingdom so that they can participate in in-person and hybrid exchanges in the field of environmental arts and humanities in Scotland for up to three months in 2023. The research placements will include a face-to-face, two-week core leadership program that will be held in April 2023.
