2005/6 Successful UIC International Links Grants

The University internationalisation committee (UIC) provides grants each year to fund projects that support the development of strong research and teaching collaborations with strong international partner institutions.

The projects that receive the travel support under this program are the ones that show the most promise for contributing to the University achieving its vision of "advancing our international reputation as an outstanding research and teaching institution".

This year, there were 30 applications from eight Faculties. The UIC selected 16 proposals for $100,000 worth of funding under the scheme. In addition, a contribution from the PVC - Research has allowed three additional proposals to receive some travel funding, to allow proposed international research collaborations to be developed further or expanded. In Total $109,000 funding was allocated.

The grants will support collaborations right across the University, with a wide range of strong partner institutions in seven countries.
