Funds to be implemented through different proposal calls, some in coordination with ANII (Uruguay's National Agency for Research and Innovation)

The British Embassy in Montevideo offers funds to collaborate with the development of Science and Innovation in Uruguay through financing cooperation projects between Uruguayan and British researchers and institutions.

The funds will be implemented through different calls for proposals, some of them in coordination with ANII (the National Agency for Research and Innovation of Uruguay), during the current year. Whilst there are priority areas, proposals outside said list will also be considered should they present special interest for the country.

Priority areas are: Agriculture; Sustainable Energy; Human Health; Animal Sciences; Environment & Climate; Biotechnology; Water and sanitation; Food Science and food technology; IT; Cultural Industries; Plastics and metal industries.

The embassy suggests some useful links such as Science and Technology Facilities Council; Natural Environment Research Council; Medical Research Council; Biotechnology and biological sciences research council; Economic and Social Research Council; Engineering and Physical Science Research Council and Arts and Humanities Research Council.

That the difference between the British and the argentines,

the British love to give away money,

But as CFK seems to think Uruguay is a province of Argentina, no doubt she will complain to someone, somewhere,

After all, is it not true that CFK thinks all of south America is a province of some kind to the great Argentina...lol

and the argentines love to take money,

Cisplatin should not accept anything from the Saxons. They do not do charity!
