The scheme supports research placements for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) at international partner universities and research institutes. PGRs, in any academic discipline, will receive a grant to conduct a research placement as an integrated part of their existing programme. A placement can run for a minimum of four weeks up to a maximum of 4 months. The aim of the placement is to add value to a PGR’s existing doctoral programme through exposure to a different research environment and access to complementary facilities and expertise. The scheme will provide PGRs with a global perspective, improve their intercultural communication skills, expand their academic network, and enhance their future employability.
