International Trainee Exchanges
The international trainee exchanges will help trainees foster new and diverse geographical and research perspectives, develop new skills, facilitate mentorship opportunities, and promote collaborations. IOC Research Centres willing to host a visiting trainee will propose broad areas of research for engagement of a visiting trainee. Training activities may include collaboration in a new project, peer-to-peer opportunities with fellow trainees, research team and mentorship meetings, research skill training, and social and networking opportunities.
The trainee exchange program is limited to trainees who are supervised by a researcher at one of the 11 IOC Research Centres and must be hosted by a researcher at one of the IOC Research Centres, with a proposed visit duration of 4-6 weeks. Only one trainee per IOC Research Centre will be selected.
