Travel awards and mobility

The College of Science and Engineering is pleased to be be able to offer a range of mobility scholarhips in 2013.
These scholarships are aimed at promoting new collaborations between groups, and will enable the Postgraduate Research student to work in internationally renowned laboratories or research environments (including field work).
Applications are particularly encourged for awards which either enable the student to be introduced to new methords, or which provide a research environment (including infrastructure and equipment) that is substantially different from that in Glasgow.

It is anticipated the funding will promote:

  • International collaboration
  • Excellence in research and training
  • Output and Impact
  • Sustainability

The scholarships will be for up to a maximum of 4 months and will meet the marginal costs of the work (e.g. of minor bench feeds, travel and accommodation). Funding will not be available to support additional stipend unless a clear and exceptional justification is provided (e.g. due to a the high local cost of living). Where the applicants are able to demonstrate a financial contribution to other aspects of support, either from exisiting funds or from Schools, or from the host laboratory, this should be clearly stated.

Travel scholarships available to Postgraduate research students are:
