The University of Edinburgh is hosting an AHRC Mobility Showcase event as follows:
International Mobility Programme for PhD Students and Early Career Researchers
Wednesday 14th December 2011 – 09.30 – 14.15
Target audience: Research Managers, BGP Coordinators, Heads of School/Department, PhD Supervisors, AHRC-funded Principal Investigators and prospective applicants.
The aim of the event is to raise awareness of our International placement activities. These include the successful existing schemes with the Library of Congress in Washington DC and the National Institutes of the Humanities in Japan, as well as new schemes shortly to be launched with the Huntington Library in California and potential partners in India.
With presentations from representatives of the overseas institutions and returning award holders, this will be your chance to hear about how research projects or programmes can be enhanced through an overseas placement.
