Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Distinguished Visiting Fellowship Scheme
The deadline for the submission of the next round of applications is 30 June 2009.
Share expertise and harness
world-class research capability by collaborating
with international experts through the Distinguished
Visiting Fellowship Scheme.
The scheme provides funding to
enable an academic engineering department in a
United Kingdom (UK) university to be a host for up
to a month to a Distinguished Visiting Fellow from
an overseas academic centre of excellence.
The scheme’s objectives are to
-
Access global centres of
excellence in engineering research and teaching,
with a view to strengthening UK capacity and
international standing.
-
Enable the participating
organisations to discover common and
complementary skills/areas and initiatives that
could form the foundation for future
collaborations and future strategic research
alliance.
-
Enable the sharing of
latest developments, experience and latest
information and the unification of participating
organisations’ diverse knowledge in the area of
engineering and technology by enabling the host
institution to use the opportunity to engage the
fellow in a range of mutually beneficial
activities.
These may include, for
example:
-
working collaboratively on
joint papers and research proposals
-
delivering lectures,
lecture series, presentations, seminars,
demonstrations, and expert workshops to
graduates and/or undergraduates and members of
the faculty
-
guiding the design and
delivery of new modules and/or programmes
-
establishing project
consortia to work collaboratively on joint
research projects.
The deadline for the submission of the next round of applications is 30 June 2009.
As part of The Academy’s
commitment to and celebration of diversity we
welcome applications from minority groups and
especially from women who are under-represented in
engineering. All applications, however, will be
judged on their merit.
