SIRE Visitors Programme |
SIRE funding is available to support travel, accommodation and subsistence costs for short term visits (e.g. one to two weeks) to SIRE. Office space, IT facilities and support services are also provided, subject to availability. Since funding and space are limited, preference will be given to visitors whose interest cohere with or span SIRE programme themes.
Longer term visits, linked e.g. to a semester or year-long sabbatical, are also encouraged. |
