The Royal Academy of Engineering has recently announced a call for its Distinguished Visiting Fellowship scheme:

The Distinguished Visiting Fellowship scheme provides funding to enable an academic engineering department in a United Kingdom (UK) university to be a host for up to a month to a Distinguished Visiting fellow from an overseas academic centre of excellence.

The objective is to access global centres of excellence in engineering research and teaching, with a view to strengthening UK capacity and international standing.

All engineering departments are eligible to apply and the assessment panel will also give “sympathetic consideration” to proposals from related disciplines, such as ICT. The deadline is 31st May 2011. Further information is available from the link above, or from the Scheme Documents section of the website.
