Opportunities for Young Researchers – International Exchange

Many of the demonstrable successes of the Autosub programme have arisen through scientists and engineers working closely together. It is one of the strengths of the project that this link exists with both sides pushing progress into mutually beneficial directions. We propose to drive this link on by funding a series of 12 money-capped competitive bursaries of up to £5,000 in value to cover or contribute to the expenses of the collaboration. They will be specifically for younger scientists and engineers (those not yet 35) to travel and collaborate for a specific project. The recipients of these bursaries will be chosen by the Project Steering Group on the basis of a short proposal and a completed pro forma. The bursaries will be available to UK researchers to spend time overseas and for overseas researchers to spend time with UK groups.

Apply now, there are still a limited number of bursaries available for study visits to be completed by August 2008
