Fiosraigh Research Scholarship Programme 2013

Fiosraigh Research Student Internship Awards

Dublin Institute of Technology strongly encourages PhD student mobility by granting awards for internships/work-placements.  Internship awards are granted particularly to encourage mobility between DIT and enterprise but also between DIT and another Higher Education Institution.

Internship awards are granted for:

  • Participation in a doctoral course of a recognized non-Irish university or scientific institution provided that participation in the course adds value to the final thesis;
  • Academic research for the thesis at a recognized non-Irish university, scientific institution or enterprise.

There will be a maximum of 8 awards per annum, 2 in each of the following research thematic areas:

  • Environment and Health
  • Information and Media Technologies
  • New Materials and Technologies
  • Society, Culture and Enterprise

Successful candidates will be awarded €2,000 towards expenses for travel to a recognized non-Irish university, scientific institution or enterprise.
