International collaboration is a highly important part of the doctoral studies and research work. TuBS wants to encourage young researchers to establish international contacts during their doctoral studies. TuBS also welcomes talented and motivated international students to apply for the graduate school.
TuBS Travel Grants
The TuBS students are encouraged to work abroad in another laboratory or in a scientific collaboration project in order to learn new techniques. TuBS offers travel grants for this purpose as well as for attending high quality laboratory courses abroad. The travel grants are also available for national research courses organised by various graduate schools in Finland.
Please find more specific information in the TuBS Handbook (linkki).
