Ireland Canada University Foundation Dobbin Travel Scholarship scheme - now open:


The Ireland Canada University Foundation (ICUF) has just announced its 2012 Dobbin Scholarship scheme which offers funding for 'scholarly exchange' between universities in Ireland & Canada. The awards are designed principally for those currently engaged in graduate-level research in a discipline which is, or has potential to be, related to both Ireland and Canada, or who are commencing such research. The scholarships are for short visits which are to benefit the scholar’s research, to establish new academic contacts in the other country, and which will provide the opportunity for the development of ongoing links in that research area. All academic disciplines are eligible.
