Second call for applications for the Visiting Experts Programme

The RAS invites applications for grants designed to assist the developing world through astronomy. The RAS-OAD Visiting Experts Programme (index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2085:ras-oad-visiting-experts-programme&catid=167:grants-for-studies&Itemid=158) has now issued its first round of grants and invites applications for a second round of awards.
The Visiting Experts Programme is a partnership between the RAS and the IAU Office of Astronomy for Development (http://www.astronomyfordevelopment.org/) (OAD) which funds astronomers based in the UK to visit institutions in the developing world.
Funding of up to £1,000 per grant is available to support visits and other activities which advance the aims of the scheme (index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2085:ras-oad-visiting-experts-programme&catid=167:grants-for-studies&Itemid=158). There is no explicit deadline; applications will be assessed whenever they are received. Full details, including instructions on how to apply, are available from the OAD (http://www.astronomyfordevelopment.org/index.php/oadprogrammes/rasoadexperts).
