The University of Surrey is proud to announce its Fellowship scheme for 2018/19 academic year. The Institute of Advanced Studies has established a Fellowship scheme, as a part of University’s aim to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and encourage a flow of international scholars to visit the University of Surrey. The scheme will enable scholars to spend time with University of Surrey academics pursuing research of mutual interest. It is expected that the Fellowship will result in some specific outcome or outcomes, such as a paper jointly authored with the host, a collaborative research proposal, establishing a research network, or a jointly organized activity such as a workshop or concert.
To be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must:
