OPPENHEIMER FUND
The Oppenheimer Fund provides grants to assist the academic
exchange of senior members between the University of Oxford on
the one hand and universities and similar institutions of higher
education in the Republic of South Africa on the other.
Applications are invited from senior members of the University
who wish either to visit one or more universities in South Africa
or to invite a staff member from a South African university to
Oxford. Grants may be awarded to assist with living expenses for
a maximum of six months, and travel costs. Visits for the sole
purpose of attending a conference will not normally be eligible
for support from the fund.
The maximum level of grants is likely to be up to £1,000
per month for subsistence and up to £700 for the cost of
travel between Oxford and South Africa. Applications for grants
from the fund should include a statement of the purpose of the
proposed visit, duration and estimated costs, details of any
other available sources of funding, and, in the case of visits
to Oxford, a curriculum vitae of the staff member
it is proposed to invite and a letter of support from a senior
member at Oxford. Applications should be sent to the
International Office, University Offices, Wellington Square, by
26 November.
