Royal Commission Research Fellowships |Research Fellowships in Science and Engineering are intended to give scientists or engineers of exceptional promise the opportunity for early independence with the objective of contributing to the knowledge base required for a healthy and innovative national culture. These fellowships are open to all nationalities, usually intending to carry out research at a UK institution.
Royal Commission Special Awards | A very limited number of Special Awards are made to worthy causes and individuals whose aims are consistent with the Commission’s Charter to ‘increase the means of industrial education’ in Britain. These may range from substantial support for other bodies in pursuing specific projects, to travel and study awards to individuals. However, apart from its programme of Fellowships and Studentship the Commission does not offer any Special Awards for university courses or post-graduate research. By their very nature, Special Awards are not capable of clear description, since they are assessed by Commissioners on a case by case basis.
Applicants should, in the first instance, contact the Secretary at royalcom1851@imperial.ac.uk before making a written application.
