Dear all,

I am collaborating with a group of Italians PhD students that would like to spend part of their doctoral training abroad (particularly but not only in UK). I would like to know if there are grants/scholarships that may finance this kind of experience and may help PhD students in that sense.

Thank you everyone for the help and the assistance!

If your university is affiliated with Santander, they offer a Mobility Award to do work abroad (if you can demonstrate that it would further your knowledge/research). Your university/research council may also have a funding pot specifically for research conducted abroad, although this will depend on whether you can prove how valuable it would be to your specific project/how long you want to spend abroad.

Maybe Erasmus plus ..but I think this year call has ended

It's better for them to ask their government or the EU to provide funding. The UK government is quite thrifty when it comes to funding foreign students.
