The British Council's Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is an
initiative aimed at supporting new links between postdoctoral
researchers in the UK and in other countries. RXP provides
individual researchers with awards covering travel and subsistence
costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific
collaborations and contacts through exchange visits of between two
week and three months. The purpose of RXP is to help develop new
research links between higher education institutions and research
laboratories in the UK and other countries. It aims to encourage
mobility and internationalism among postdoctoral researchers for
the exchange of information, ideas and knowledge, and for long-term
relationship building.
