DIRAC EXCHANGE PROGRAM

DIRAC Trainee Exchange Program has been develloped with the aim of allowing both internal and external parties, be it undergraduates, masters students, Ph.D. students or postdoctoral researchers, to get to know or enter into closer collaboration with any of the DIRAC partner institutions.
To achieve this the DIRAC exchange training program will fund exchanges.

2. researchers who intend to visit any of the DIRAC partner institutions
3. researchers who demonstrate close connections with any of DIRAC's goals

THE VISITS
