More information about the funding results, successful applicants and the destination countries and territories chosen for funded activities can be seen in the following tables.

This information was previously held on a dedicated website which has now closed. The data contained within the tables remains the same, but some explanatory information has changed to reflect the new format.

Methodology

The data in this publication is collected from organisations when they apply for funding through the Turing Scheme. The data has been aggregated to protect personally identifiable information.

The data represents organisations’ planned placements[footnote 1]at application stage. Final data detailing actual spend, and number of placements will be when all academic year 2022 to 2023 activity is concluded, and once final reports are received.

Data quality and limitations

This data accurately reflects organisations’ application data and is correct as of 17 April 2023.

There are some limitations to this data. It is possible that there may be input errors or missing data as it relies on data from applications and final reports filled out by organisations.
