Trans-National Education Grant in UK and Egypt

About
The British Council in Egypt is offering two grants of £30,000 each to UK higher education institutions to partner with universities in Egypt to support greater internationalisation of each institution and transnational education.

The purpose of this call is to foster further collaboration between the UK and Egyptian higher education sectors. It is part of the work of the British Council in higher education and science which aims to extend, strengthen, and deepen connections between the UK education sector and the Egyptian sector. It is motivated by the belief that international collaboration produces more effective research for addressing global problems, while enhancing teaching and learning to produce graduates with the skills necessary for economic development.
