Oxford/Canterbury Academic Exchange Programme
Introduction
In recognition of the lengthy association between the University of
Oxford and the University of Canterbury that dates back to the design
of the University of Canterbury's town site, the donation of books to
College House, and a series of distinguished Oxford visitors to Canterbury
over the years, a reciprocal visitor exchange programme between the
two universities entitled the Oxford/Canterbury Exchange Programme was
established in 2002, with the first visits occurring in 2003.
The goal of the Oxford/Canterbury Exchange Programme, which is primarily
administered by the University of Canterbury, is to build on the academic
links that have already been developed and to benefit the students and
staff of both universities by funding the regular visits of academic
staff members.
As of 2012 this arrangement continues, under different terms, the staff
exchange programme initiated between the universities in 2002. While
visiting the exchange university, staff members will participate in
teaching, seminars and academic meetings, as agreed with the hosting
department, in order to facilitate the sharing of ideas and expertise
with staff and students at the exchange university. The exchange also
creates opportunities for joint research and encourages the exchange
of publications and academic materials.
I warmly commend this expanded Programme for the undoubted growth it
is bringing in the exchange of knowledge, professional links, and research
collaborations between our two universities. The Fellowships to be awarded
each year are available in all faculties and are additional to those
available under the existing Visiting Erskine Fellowships, Erskine Grants,
Visiting Canterbury Fellowships and other leave programmes.
