Assistance may be provided to a Fellow or one of his/her associates whether in a Higher Education Institution or a Research Institution, or in industry to enable visits to be made in furtherance of collaboration or liaison between the academic or research institution and industry where consultancy fees are not involved. The maximum amount for any one project in a single year will be £600 but there is no objection to assistance also being received from either the parent or the host organisation.

These awards may be used, for example, to enable a researcher in a university department to visit an industrial organisation to initiate or to continue collaborative research on a project of mutual interest or alternatively to enable a researcher from an industrial laboratory to visit an academic laboratory for the same purpose. They could be used to support a visit of a few weeks or alternatively a number of shorter visits
