Research Councils UK

Research Councils UK and FAPESP, the Research Council for the State of São Paulo, have signed an agreement to strengthen research links between the UK and Brazil.

The UK and Indian governments are to fund a £9 million project to bring education, healthcare and early warning systems to remote areas in both countries.

The UK's seven research councils have set out a strategy to internationalise their activities to pull in more researchers from overseas and enable cross country funding of projects.
