Charlemont Grants scheme open

22 September 2021

The Royal Irish Academy is delighted to announce that the Charlemont Grants scheme is open to applications until 3rd November.

The Royal Irish Academy’s Charlemont Grants Scheme was established in 2007 (formerly known as the RIA Mobility Grant Scheme). This scheme is an international research scheme awarded to outstanding early career researchers in the humanities, social sciences and sciences.

Named in honour of the Academy’s first President and notable proponent of the Grand Tour, James Caulfeild, 1st Earl of Charlemont (1728-99), this scheme is funded directly by the Academy and has previously facilitated short international visits from Ireland for the conduct of primary research in any subject area including the development of new research collaborations and networks, access to research equipment and training not available in Ireland.

The scheme which welcomes applications from all disciplines in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences will this year, once again provide seed funding for the development of international or all island collaboration projects .
