Research Fellowship – Travel Awards

The disparate history of the Faculty has left occasional loose ends, one of which was some funds that would have otherwise have remained unclaimed outside the University and that have been successfully garnered back to agricultural and related education and research by the OAFS, notably OAF Prof Malcolm Hickey.

The Funds have been allocated to an account that can contribute support, through Travel Awards, to assist young researchers in the Faculty who seek to present their research at major international conferences.

It is expected that the fellowships will be available each year for several years, or until funds are exhausted.

Application details will be posted here in due course.
