The Newton-Fund builds research and innovation partnerships with 17 active partner countries to support their economic development and social welfare, and to develop their research and innovation capacity for long-term sustainable growth. It has a total investment of £735 million from the United Kingdom (UK) Government until 2021, with matched resources from the partner countries.

 

The Newton-Fund is managed by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), and delivered through seven UK delivery partners, including UK Research and Innovation (comprising the seven research councils and Innovate UK), the UK Academies, the British Council and the Met Office.

 

Tackling global challenges such as extreme weather conditions, urbanisation, access to affordable health care, food and energy security, and meeting the social and economic needs of a growing population requires an integrated research and innovation approach, bringing together communities from different disciplines, sectors and countries in high-quality collaborations.

 

The Newton- Fund builds research and innovation partnerships to support economic development and social welfare and develop research and innovation capacity for long-term sustainable growth. This is achieved by building the skills of doctoral scholars through cross-border research collaborations in higher education institutions.

 

In India, the Newton-Bhabha Fund is supported by the UK and Indian governments through a ministerial agreement and was launched to promote science and innovation partnerships between the two countries.
