National/International Visits

CCP NTH provides a number of visiting grants for incoming and outgoing national/international visits and conference to promote and support international collaborations. The purpose of the international incoming visits is to enable UK university*[1]groups to host international experts for discussion, collaborations and/or delivering lectures. These visits are encouraged to be coincident with one of the CCP technical meetings at which the visitors can also deliver talks to the wider community. Support will also be provided to members of the CCP who wish to visit centres of excellence in computational thermal hydraulics, including, universities, national laboratories and industrial R&D centres. Additionally, to promote collaborations between UK research groups, and universities and industry, CCP NTH also provides T&S support for exchanges of UK short visits of up to one week between academic groups, and academics and industry in the UK. 

In addition, funding is available to support workshops, forums cross-group meetings organised by any academic groups involving participants from two or more institutes.

All applications will be assessed by the Management Committee.

* University and academics in this document refer to any institutes or individuals who are eligible to receive funding from the UK research councils.
