*******************
17 August 2011I am pleased to announce an expansion of the current four available incoming Visiting Canterbury Fellowships to a combination of six available Canterbury Fellowships (incoming) and Canterbury Grants (outgoing). Some of these Fellowships/Grants will now be available for University of Canterbury staff who are not eligible for Erskine funded (outgoing) Grants. Nominations/applications will be requested in February of each year for the following year with a closing date of 30 April and are funded by the University of Canterbury. Nominations/applications will be assessed by an evaluation committee consisting of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the five Pro-Vice-Chancellors and the Head of the School of Law with decisions by mid June. The purpose of Visiting Canterbury Fellowships is primarily to give lectures to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Canterbury Grants (outgoing Fellowships) will be awarded to continuing academic staff at the University of Canterbury. The awards are designed to assist staff to develop their teaching skills at top quality overseas Universities.
