Welcome to LISER! Eight Visiting Scholars drop in this October

LISER recognises the importance of international research exchange and collaboration with researchers in the various fields of socio-economic research.

The Visiting Scholars Programme provides the opportunity for in-house researchers to collaborate in joint research projects with researchers from other Institutions. LISER visiting scholars contribute regularly to the academic environment of the institute and participate actively on team projects, as well as in LISER’s research seminars series, and contribute with teaching in the context of LISER’s training programme. The programme also provides the opportunity to PhD candidates to interact with experienced researchers and benefit from the research environment within a specific team.
