The Scottish Government’s Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities (SGSAH) has partnered with the British Council to launch the EARTH Scholarships 2025 program.
This initiative aims to promote global research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).
Specifically, the program focuses on fostering interdisciplinary connections within the realm of environmental arts and humanities.
The primary goal of the EARTH Scholarships program is to underscore the role of the arts and cultural sector in addressing climate challenges and cultivating innovative, sustainable research approaches.
By engaging with academic mentors in Scotland and external organizations, the program aims to facilitate international mobility and collaboration among researchers.
Through its emphasis on multidisciplinary research, the program seeks to expand opportunities for novel solutions and cross-cultural exchanges beyond traditional arts and humanities boundaries to address global environmental issues.
The British Council’s Going Global Partnerships program and SGSAH’s Internationalization plan offer scholarships that align with SGSAH themes such as Creative Industries and Environmental Humanities.
In light of the climate crisis, this program is dedicated to supporting sustainable research and innovation by fostering connections between Scottish and international HEIs.
