Leverhulme Trust

The Leverhulme Trust is a UK research funder established in 1925 from the will of William Hesketh Lever. It supports research and scholarship across all disciplines, often backing curiosity-driven and cross-disciplinary work. Its Visiting Professorships are awarded to UK institutions to host an eminent overseas academic, so a Malawian professor would take part as the invited visitor.
