University of Glasgow colleagues can apply for funding of up to £5,000, along with 50% match funding support, to engage in international activities that align with the priorities outlined in our international strategy, Global Glasgow 2025.

This year, we are introducing an exciting new opportunity: IPDF Research Development Seed Funding. There are now two types of funding available: 

Type 1: Partnership Development Funding - Application deadline 28 February   

This funding supports the establishment of new international partnerships or the development of new strands within existing collaborations. Many colleagues will already be familiar with this opportunity. 

Type 2: Research Development Seed Funding  - Application deadline: 10 March

This new strand is designed to deepen relationships with existing international partners by fostering the development of joint research activities. Colleagues are encouraged to consider collaboration with academic contacts from our list of priority partners. 

Please refer to the IPDF webpage for detailed guidance on the application process.

Please note that the IPDF offers in-year funding, so all activities must be completed by the end of July 2025. Unfortunately, funding cannot be carried over into the next financial year. 

If you have any questions, please contact externalrelations-partnershipfunding@glasgow.ac.uk.
