    Objectives

    • Provide an opportunity for an NCURA member to experience research administration in Europe or southern Africa.
    • Enhance global research collaboration by fostering research partnerships and greater understanding of the different ways of managing research. 

    Description

    These programs will provide an opportunity for NCURA research administrators to travel to a research organization in Europe or Southern Africa and to immerse themselves in a program of mutual learning and knowledge exchange.  In turn, the Fellows are expected to pass on their own experiences and knowledge of research administration, to identify best practices at their host institution, and to adhere to applicable organizational rules and cultural practices.


    Time Period for the Two-Week Fellowship:  between Jan 2017 – Dec 2017

    Funding Amount:  USD$2,000 (additional costs will be borne by the Fellow or the Fellow’s institution)
