International Placement Scheme Interest - UK IRO

Overview

This form is for UK Independent Research Organisations interested in hosting participants of the International Placement Scheme delivered by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC), as part of UKRI. 

The scheme currently empowers UK-based arts and humanities early career researchers to engage in transformative international collaborations by offering dedicated access to world-leading cultural and research institutions abroad.

Through fully funded short placements of 2-6 months, the International Placement Scheme opens doors to unique collections, expert networks, and vibrant research environments that are typically inaccessible in the UK.

From 2027, AHRC is inviting UK Independent Research Organisations to join the scheme by hosting a small number of outstanding fully-funded early career researchers from our overseas host partners. By becoming internationally connected and visible through this scheme and helping build a global network of early career heritage professionals, IROs will gain access to new talent and expertise, enhance their own practices, attract new research collaborations, and strengthen their position within the global cultural research community.
