Research Mobility - Student Scholarships
WUN offers two programmes which support overseas research and career development. Please contact Dr. David Pilsbury to find out more about these programmes and application information.

Research Mobility Programme
The Research Mobility Programme funds a period of study overseas for senior postgraduates and junior faculty to establish and cultivate research links at an institutional and individual level between the partners in Europe, North America, South East Asia and Australia. It is also intended to encourage the personal and academic development of individuals early in their research careers.
The Programme continues to elicit high-quality applications and enthusiasm from faculty and graduate students with almost 400 awards being made across the WUN partnership since the programme began in 2002.
