British Council has invited applications for its Going Global Partnerships Grant 2021. The institutional teaching grant aims at promoting India- UK partnership for the co-creation of the joint programmes at the higher educational levels. The objective of this programme is to provide better opportunities to students in the UK and India and give them an international learning experience.
The last day to apply for the programme is October 25 and institutional applicants can apply for it online through British Council’s official website link. The council will also be conducting an application support webinar to give guidance about the application process.
The British Council will be issuing two types of grants under this initiative
Exploratory Grants – Under this grant, new awardees will work collectively to develop plans for Transnational Education and teaching collaborations. The awardees will jointly develop courses that meet global standards and allow easy credit comparability for both undergraduate and graduate levels. It may be given to a group of up to four UK and Indian institutional partnerships. British Council is expected to issue 10 Exploratory Grants between 15 to 20 thousand Euros (Rs 13 to Rs 17 lakhs approximately) for the year 2021-22.
Collaboration Grants – This grant will be issued to universities that are involved in an existing partnership for expanding their scope of work in joint and collaborative teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The main objective of this grant will be to develop a teaching and collaboration model, and a module that contributes towards India’s and UK’s bachelor’s or master’s qualifications. British Council is expected to give two to three grants between £30,000 to £100,000 (Rs 26 to Rs 86 lakhs) each.
