International Network Research Collaborations
The International Program Development Fund (IPDF) provides funding to
support initiatives in internationalisation. A new stream within the
IPDF, titled the International Program Development Fund - International
Network Research Collaborations (IPDF-INRC), has been established to
encourage research collaborations with partner universities in our three
international networks - Academic Consortium 21 (AC21), the Association
of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) and the Worldwide Universities
Network (WUN).
Applicants are encouraged to submit funding applications for innovative
and sustainable programs built around multilateral collaborative
research with partner universities in our international networks. A
maximum of $10,000 will be available for each successful program.
Applications that include an international research mobility component
are encouraged. Applicants (or their delegates) may travel to a partner
university for a period of one week to three months to cultivate
research activity as part of the research project.
