Early Career Scientist Exchange in the Pacific Region
SSF Australia is dedicated to enhancing research in the developing world. As such, we are developing an exchange program in the Asia-Pacific region that will enable early-career scientists from leading research and education institutions in Australia to essentially trade places with scientists in research and education institutions in the Pacific region. Both parties will benefit from the exchange by being exposed to the weaknesses and strengths of each environment. In addition, mutually beneficial collaborations can be established between parties that otherwise would not meet.
SSF hopes that such an exchange will increase the skills and access to technology of scientists from the developing world, and it is hoped developed-world participants will find increased meaning in their research.
Provided is an edited copy of SSF Australia’s Feasibility Study into the exchange program to provide more information.
