Graduate Student Exchanges. Both Institutions will explore opportunities and convenience for a “Sandwich-type” graduate program for qualified candidates, where candidates would be sent to work on a particular research project for 6-12 months in a laboratory at the host Institution that corresponds to their chosen field, involve supervisors from both Institutions, and perform quality research leading to publication. The specific terms for funding such graduate student exchanges, including the graduate student qualifications, specific duration of the exchange and type of supervisory involvement from each Institution, will be negotiated under separate and specific agreements.
Graduate Student Exchanges. The purpose of each graduate student exchange will be to enable students to take classes or conduct research, but not to study for a degree at the host institution. There are a number of questions which require consideration as a reciprocal graduate student exchange is considered, including: the period of the exchange, the number of students, tuition cost coverage, coverage of travel and living expenses, and student accommodations in their host country. These issues are addressed within this document in Section I. FACULTY VISITS AND EXCHANGES Both institutions recognize that the professional development of their faculty members may be considerably enhanced by visits to the counterpart institution for the purposes of providing instruction, engaging research, and sharing the results of their research. The details of faculty visits and exchanges are addressed within this document in Section II.
