The N+N+N Young Researchers' Workshop scheme, initiated and funded by the British Council, aims to provide an opportunity for young researchers to exchange ideas, knowledge and information by coming together in the framework of N+N+N workshops and meetings. Here the term N+N+N workshop refers to a workshop involving a number of researchers from the UK and an equal number from the other participating countries. The workshop should be followed by real and virtual networking to sustain the contacts made with a view to producing a proposal for longer-term externally funded collaboration or applications for further funding.

The second announcement contains practical information for participants.
