Santander provides BU with funding for research students or staff to travel to universities in the Santander overseas network to work on a specific piece of work and develop links. There are 4 x £5000 scholarships available with a deadline of 9th December.
This is an excellent opportunity to travel to other countries such as the USA or South America and enhance your PhD by working with international researchers in your field and potentially enhancing your future career by developing international networks. Priority is given to research students and early career researchers.
Details on how to apply are available in this earlier blog post.
