Exhibitors Center

At Exhibitors Center I found the following booth quite interesting and it might be useful for you too:

=> AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships

As Salaeha Shariff (project director of the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships) explained me this is a program for doctoral level degree and U.S. citizenship people interested to apply their knowledge and skills to national and international issues in the federal policy. This was really interesting to me because in my country we don't have these fellowships. Application deadlines are generally november 1. More details at fellowship.aaas.org

 

=> European Comission

At this booth, the European Comission advertised their four programs (from masters scholarships to research fellowships and grants) to aid researchers to have experience in Europe:

- Erasmus Mundus offers masters or joint doctorate scholarships and also scholarships to the exchange of students and staff between European and non-European universities (3 months to 3 years). More information at http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/
