The Wohl Alliance is a new initiative funded by the Wohl Legacy and managed by the British Council together with the UK Science and Innovation Network in Israel.

The Wohl Alliance aims to further research-linked cooperation between the UK and Israel in areas of clean growth linked to food, water and energy.

The Programme aims to strengthen collaboration between the UK and Israeli universities, research institutions, and their collaborators in fields of clean growth (as defined below) related to food, water and energy.

Projects should: 

• Promote collaborative research at the planning stage by, for example, creating new networks, and collaborating on grant submissions and funding opportunities; or
• Facilitate research through projects such as (virtual or face-to-face) meetings, symposia, new collaborations and sharing research facilities; or
• Apply research via activities including policy work, technology transfer and collaborations with industry and third sector organisations; or
• Communicate academic research to students, public audiences and other relevant groups with, for example, shared courses and teaching programmes, and public activities.
• Projects must fit one or more of the themes of food, water and/or energy. These are broadly and liberally defined.
• Grants will not fund research.
• Projects must involve applicants from both the UK and Israel.

Funding Information

Projects can be submitted for up to £20,000. 

Eligibility Criteria

• Proposals must include the details of British and Israeli lead applicants who will act as coholders of the grant. The application itself is submitted only once by the primary applicant.
• The primary applicant must be based at the UK or Israeli university or academic/research institution that will receive the funding.
• Higher education institutions must be officially recognised by both countries.
• There is no requirement for applicants to be nationals of the UK or Israel; they need to be affiliated with a UK or Israel institution.
• Multiple applications from institutions are acceptable; however, the same partners may submit only one application.
• Third country collaborations are welcome, but Wohl Alliance Grants can only cover costs related to UK or Israeli partners.
