Visiting International Researcher activities

Visiting International Researchers are invited to present at least one academic seminar on specialist topic(s) of current interest to the visitor. These seminars are presented to school staff and graduate students, but are widely advertised on campus and open to the general academic and professional community.

The Visiting International Researcher should engage with their host and other staff or postgraduate students in the school to explore opportunities for ongoing collaborative research.
