Intending to support the education of outstanding students, the University of Birmingham is announcing U21’s Graduate Collaborative Research Awards for the session 2020/21. The grants are awarded to candidates from at least three U21 members in at least two countries. The funding program aims to develop lasting professional relationships between researchers and research teams within the U21 network. The Universitas 21 is a network of research-intensive universities committed to promoting the value of internationalisation and multinational collaboration. It empowers its members to share excellence, collaborate across borders, and nurture global knowledge exchange. Why study at the Universitas 21? U21 brings leading global universities together to develop the student experience, researcher engagement, and educational innovation. It facilitates the delivery of programs, activities, and initiatives that cannot be delivered through a single university or bi-lateral agreements.
