International applicants
The 2027 programme offers up to three places for international applicants.
Applicants who are not based in the UK or affiliated with a UK institution need to demonstrate how their Fellowship plans could strengthen international collaboration or contribute a valuable perspective to UK research culture. The SSI also advises international applicants to consider practical issues such as time zones, language barriers, travel expenses, and financial administration.
This makes the opportunity particularly worth exploring for qualified researchers and digital innovation professionals across Africa.
