Resources

Whilst visual imagery (photograph, film footage) is key to the success of your project, together with the use of colour, branding, style and concept, which all contribute to the impact and identity of your materials the requirement to be GDPR compliant when using any images is essential. It is illegal to use anyone’s image without their consent and this consent must be documented and be able to be demonstrated.

Guidance relating to the use of images in presentations which are for commercial purposes can be found here.

The Events Planning toolkit includes checklists, templates and other resources to help event organisers. All University of Exeter staff and students are welcome to use and share this resource.

If being held at Exeter: Event Exeter will be able to help by providing you a quote for your proposed workshop. If being held at a Partner Institution, please ask a colleague / collaborator at the partner institution for a representative quote. 

The University recommended travel agents Key Travel or Click Travel will be able to provide quotes on request. Or, you may wish to base your estimates on online searches using mainstream travel comparison websites. As always, when planning and booking travel, please follow the standard university policy on international travel, and register for insurance; http://www.exeter.ac.uk/staff/internationaltravel/

Further information on booking travel can be found here: http://admin.exeter.ac.uk/corporate/procurement/exeteronly/travel.shtml

Estimates for overseas subsistence can be based on HMRC Worldwide Subsistence rates.

Please follow the usual University of Exeter procurement policies & procedures.

Global Partnerships funding is not intended to support the (PI) salaries of academic faculty members on full time permanent contracts, nor as a “top-up fund” to an existing salary.

Occasionally, and only when expressly specified in the call guidance notes, Global Partnerships funding opportunities may extend to cover the staff costs of post-doctoral researchers and / or research / teaching technicians and assistants.

No, the purchase of computer equipment (desktops and laptops etc.) does not qualify as an eligible cost.

No, publication costs are not considered eligible for Global Partnerships funding. Instead, please follow this link for information on how to pay for open access publication costs.

We welcome applications from early career researchers (unless otherwise specified in the call guidance notes). Please note though, that in order to be considered eligible for funding, you must be employed / have a current contract with the University of Exeter for the full life

time of the proposed project and for at least 12 months from the end date of the proposed project.

No, you do not need to log your project proposal idea in T1.

Global Partnerships funding is categorized as internal funding and as such, it is not deemed time efficient for Research Services to get involved with the costing of these projects. Instead, we encourage you to determine and provide realistic and sensible estimates for your project costs. 

There are two ways to arrange travel for partner institutions:

1. Book the travel directly on behalf of your visiting colleagues using Key Travel, and follow the university travel booking process.
2. Your partner colleagues book and pay (up-front) their own travel and then you complete an international payment request form in T1 for their expenses.
