Postgraduate student exchanges

Graduate Researchships in Applied Physiology and Ergonomics (GRAPE)

Graduate researchships form an integral component of the Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics Research Exchange, and these exchanges first commenced in 2006. This consortium was developed by five scientists who possess a wide range of multidisciplinary skills in integrated, human and applied physiology, and who were eager to ensure that such skills are maintained and further developed. Therefore, the principal aim of these researchships is to train the next generation of integrated physiologists, and this aim will be achieved by:

exposing young scientists to whole-body integrated physiological research
training young scientists in a wide range of multidisciplinary, and systems-based research techniques
demonstrating how the basic sciences may be used to serve wider societal needs (translational physiology)
facilitating conference travel and research presentations at international conferences
exposing young scientists to diverse, international laboratory and cultural experiences.
