WTUN Exchange Programme 2024-25
WTUN Exchange Programme 2024-25 – NOW OPEN
We welcome applications from all member institutions. There are 18 grants available of £2000 each for staff (academic and professional services) and PhD students to visit another member institution. Exchanges are open to new projects, initiatives and teaching and learning opportunities as well as those that have been involved in previous rounds and wish to utilise the funds to continue their work.
The exchanges will provide opportunities for member institutions to explore or conduct activities stated in the WTUN Memorandum of Understanding included, but not limited to:
- collaborative research between member universities;
- capacity-building, including collaborative teaching initiatives among member universities;
- developing position and policy statements;
- facilitating links between world technology universities and industry, NGOs and SMEs.
The exchanges or joint research meetings must support the vision and purpose of WTUN as set out in the MOU.
This year WTUN would like to encourage exchange proposals within the WTUN focus areas:
- Gender Equality
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
- Good Health and Wellbeing
- Quality Education
- Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Responsible Consumption and Production
- Climate Action
- International collaboration between HE institutions
However, all proposals will be considered equally.
As in previous years, we will be encouraging applications which specifically seek to develop further international activities (joint modules, summer schools, joint research bids).
There will be a two-proposal limit per member institution and therefore all proposals must be approved by the sending/lead institution’s Operational Board Member.
WTUN Exchange Programme Proposal and Agreement Form 2024-25
We would love to see applications from across our entire membership and so would like to encourage applications from member institutions yet to take part in the WTUN Exchange Programme.
Feedback on ways to encourage currently underrepresented members is welcome.
If you have any queries please contact WTUN on wtun@bradford.ac.uk
