Rothamsted International

Our main activities are managing two Fellowship schemes, and co-ordinating and supporting several international projects. Rothamsted International is an interface between Rothamsted Research and the developing world, facilitating and publicising Rothamsted's overseas work.

Both Fellowship schemes are directed towards mid-career researchers in agricultural sciences. The Rothamsted International Fellowship Scheme (RIFS) is open to scientists from all developing countries and successful applicants spend their placements with Research groups at Rothamsted Research. The African Fellows Programme (AFP) is specifically for scientists from sub-saharan Africa and Fellowships are spent at European Research Institutes. Our Project management services aim to assist in agricultural capacity building, and we expect these and the Fellowships to lead to long-term partnerships, collaborations and capacity building with and in the Fellow's home countries.
