Mobility Awards

5 scholarships will provide funding for existing Imperial College staff and students to study or undertake research in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay or Venezuela in 2010-11.

Applications will be judged on the basis of academic merit and personal statement about the value of the trip to your research. Applications should be made for an individual (not a group) to conduct specific research that would not necessarily receive financial support from elsewhere. Priority will be given to applicants looking to further their links with named institutions and or other researchers in that country; applications with a specific time frame and budget in mind will also be given priority.

The closing date for applications is 5pm, Friday 28th May 2010.
