Deadlines
Academic Unit: Inquire with your unit
Memorial Deadline: Monday 18th, January 2021
External Deadline: Thursday 21st, January 2021
Description
Two Medical Student Virtual Mobility Grants will be available in 2020-21. With the aim of increasing students’ knowledge of global health, the grants will provide funding for medical schools to deliver virtual mobility projects in partnership with medical schools at ACU member universities in other countries.
This scheme will replace the Edward Boyle medical elective bursaries, which supported UK medical students to undertake overseas electives. To reflect the current times, the Medical Student Mobility Grants are for virtual collaborations only.
Grants scope and who can apply
Projects within the scope of the grants can include:
- * Students from the two partner institutions collaborating on an assessed project
- * A virtual event such as an online summer school
The projects must involve students from two institutions in different countries, must involve online interaction, and should allow students to develop their intercultural skills and knowledge. The project must be delivered before the end of 2021. Applications will only be accepted from staff of medical schools. Students are not eligible to apply directly.
