LEWI is inviting applications for two of its programmes: The Resident Graduate Scholarship Programme and The Visitorship Programme.
The Resident Graduate Scholarship (RGS) Programme
The Programme was launched with an aim to advance bilateral collaboration between Hong Kong Baptist University and participating member institutions, as well as to promote graduate research in East-West studies. The programme is conceived with a reciprocal vision to bring students of participating universities to Hong Kong and vice versa. The applicant must be a full-time student enrolled in a graduate degree programme by research at any tertiary institutions working on a thesis with an East-West axis. Priority will be given to applicants whose research areas are on the following themes: environment, sustainability, and mobility. The duration of research study is 5 months. An allowance of HK$6,000 (about US$750) for each month spent abroad will be awarded by LEWI.
Applications for the Fall semester starting from September 2010 should be submitted before 15 March 2010. Please visit http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/programmes.html for application form and further details.
The Visitorship Programme
The programme was launched with a view to facilitate faculty exchange among member institutions and to promote collaborative research and other scholarly activities with an East-West axis. The duration of research visit ranges from two weeks to one month. Successful applicants will be awarded up to HK$20,000 (about US$2,500) for travel expenses.
The applicant must be a full-time faculty member. He/she must have obtained approval and leave of absence from his/her home institution to accept the visitorship and should have secured an invitation from the receiving institution. Priority will be given to applicants whose research is of high relevance to East-West studies, and whose research areas are on the following themes: environment, sustainability, and mobility.
