A number of science academies have expressed interest in the scheme and the Society is willing to provide advice and encouragement, as has been the case with the Académie des Sciences in Paris. For more information, contact: dialogue@royalsoc.ac.uk.
The brochure on the MP- Scientist Pairing Scheme can be downloaded from the Royal Society's webpage:
