Opportunity Description

Scotland’s British Council, the SGSAH EARTH Scholarships program, which the British Council funds, enables international research collaborations between Ph.D. and Early Career Researchers, Scottish HEIs, academic mentors based in Scotland, and outside organizations. Its focus is on environmental arts and humanities and their interdisciplinary connections.

The program’s overarching goal is to highlight the contributions and interventions made by the arts, culture, and humanities fields in tackling the climate emergency and their ability for interdisciplinary research in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) contexts. In addition to supporting sustainable research and cultural exchanges within and outside the arts, humanities, and cultural sectors, the program will foster opportunities for international research and mobility that will help develop and support new strategies for addressing the world’s climate crisis.

The Environmental Humanities and Creative Industries/Economies, with an emphasis on climate emergency themes, the interventions of the arts and cultural sector, and the legacy of COP26, held in Glasgow in 2021, will serve as the program’s two strategic topics and critical areas. Building on SGSAH’s Global Connects programs and the SFC Saltire Emerging Researcher Program; the program will strengthen partnerships between Scottish and foreign HEIs (Higher Education institute)
