The British Council Scotland SGSAH EARTH Scholarships is a programme run by SGSAH with funding from the British Council to enable international research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish HEIs, Scotland-based academic mentors, and external organisations. The collaborations are in the field of environmental arts and humanities and strive to explore interdisciplinary connections.
In 2024, thirteen successful applicants formed the second EARTH Scholars cohort and visited Scotland as part of their exchanges.
