About this Event
The next round of the scheme opens in May 2026. This prestigious scheme provides an opportunity for outstanding international research leaders – including emerging and established leaders – to undertake a flexible 12‑month period of sabbatical leave at a UK university or not‑for‑profit research institution. The Fellowship supports the development of sustained international collaborations and strengthens the UK research and innovation base.
The IAS and Fellowships Team will be hosting a hybrid briefing session on Tuesday 12th May at 10am, to provide more information for colleagues who may be interested in the scheme, or who may be supporting a potential applicant.
The session will cover:
- An overview of the Wolfson Royal Society Visiting Fellowship scheme
- Eligibility and mobility rules
- Proposal structure and assessment criteria
- Institutional support available to applicants and supervisors
Full scheme details are available from the Royal Society website.
Arrivals from 9:45 am for a 10:00 am start.
International House can be found here on the campus map.
If these in-person places become fully booked, you can still register for the online Teams webinar.
