Welcome to LISER! Five Visiting Scholars drop in this October

This Visiting Scholars Programme provides the opportunity for local researchers to collaborate in joint research projects with researchers from other Institutions.

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

The Visiting Scholars Programme is part of LISER’s Guest Researchers and Seminars Programme, GRaSP, which provides its researchers with the opportunity to interact with top international researchers and gain in experience, develop capacity and increase research networks through two main venues. First, through GRaSP’s weekly Research Seminars series which allow for external and internal researchers to present their work; and second, through the Visiting Scholars Programme.

This Programme provides the opportunity for local researchers to collaborate in joint research projects with researchers from other Institutions. Moreover, LISER’s visiting scholars are available for discussion with staff members to advise on research projects, to participate actively in research seminars and to contribute with teaching in the context of GRaSP’s training programme or presenting at LISER’s seminar series.
