News from IARU
New IARU online course on 'Sustainable Ageing'
We are delighted to announce that the University of Copenhagen will be hosting a five-day online course on 'Sustainable Ageing'.
Population ageing is a major demographic trend across world regions and brings with it complex opportunities as well as challenges for individuals, the healthcare systems, societal resources, infrastructure, and resource allocations.
The course will be held 4 - 8 December 2023 and is open to Master's students and PhD students in their first years of their PhD who are interested in ageing and interdisciplinarity. All scientific backgrounds are welcome.
Launch of Early-Career Collaboration Grants
We are delighted to announce that applications are now open for IARU's Early-Career Collaboration Grants.
This new scheme has been created to increase opportunities for in-person global collaboration for early-career academics in the wake of the pandemic. Researchers within 10 years of submitting their PhD (excluding Postdocs), can apply for up to 5,000 USD to help meet the costs of a short-term research stay at another IARU university.
We hope that the grants will provide valuable support to junior academics and will foster additional collaboration between the two universities in the future.
Full details and the application form can be found on the Early-Career Collaboration Grants page.
