The British Council announces that a new round of Institutional Links funding call under the Newton Mosharafa Fund is now available for application in the field of Cultural Heritage. Unlike other Newton Mosharafa calls this one has specific focus on Archaeology and Cultural Heritage only.

Cultural Heritage Institutional Links offers grants of up to £300,000 to set up joint partnership between institutions in Egypt and the UK for up to 2 years in the field of Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.

Please note that this call is not in partnership with the Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) and hence it is not co-funded in country; Egyptian applicants will need to provide evidence of matched funding contributions. These contributions can be in-kind or cash.

Deadline: 19 September 2016 16:00 UK time.

Guidelines and application via: https://www.britishcouncil.org/education/science/current-opportunities/newton-institutional-links-july-2016.
