We are excited to launch the CIQC Graduate Student / Postdoc Exchange Program to support and encourage cross-campus collaboration within the Institute. Through this mechanism, students and postdocs from CIQC research groups can apply for an award that financially supports a short visit to a host research group on another CIQC campus. Following the visit, the awardee is responsible for either (1) drafting a short report documenting the outcomes of the exchange, or (2) submitting an application for CIQC seed funding to continue collaborative efforts.
