The Office of International Affairs at NC State on behalf of the University Global Partnership Network (UGPN), is pleased to announce the 3rd Round of the UGPN Research Collaboration Fund is now open. This Fund provides travel support for high-quality research collaboration between researchers at the UGPN partner institutions (North Carolina State University, University of São Paulo, University of Surrey). The intention is that these awards go beyond pump-priming to support substantive engagement that leads to high quality outputs, such as joint papers or joint research bids. Proposals should be jointly submitted by faculty from at least two of the UGPN partner institutions.
The deadline for proposal submission is Friday May 2, 2014 at 5:00 PM
View the announcement and download the full Call For Proposals on the OIA website.
The University Global Partnership Network (UGPN) is a preferred partnership network including North Carolina State University, the University of São Paulo and the University of Surrey. The UGPN has created a platform for international collaboration enabling academics and students from some of the world’s top universities to work together on issues of global importance. The mission of the UGPN is to develop sustainable world-class research, education and knowledge transfer through an active international network of selected Universities collaborating in research, learning and teaching to benefit global society. The UGPN focuses on two priority areas: (a) promoting global graduates: student experience and employability, and (b) promoting research with global impact.
Please help us spread the word about this opportunity to faculty across the University.
Thank You,
David
