This scheme has proven instrumental in supporting the efforts of UQ’s faculties and institutes to establish new and expanded linkages with strategic global partners.
The next round will continue early 2018. As per usual, the Global Engagement team will contact your international and/or research teams prior to the opening of the next round to confirm designated contacts, communications, and submission procedures for the second round.
With the aim of supporting the successful implementation of the Global Strategy Framework, the UQ Global Strategy and Partnerships Seed Funding Scheme assists UQ faculties, institutes, and units to pursue activities that will strengthen the impact of UQ’s global network.
