【Forwarded Message】The WTUN Exchange Programme 2025-2026 (for academic staff and PhD students) is now open for applications!

We are pleased to announce that the WTUN Exchange Programme 2025-26 is now open for applications.
There are 18 grants available of £2000 each for staff (academic and professional services) and PhD students to visit another member institution. Exchanges are open to new projects, initiatives and teaching and learning opportunities as well as those that have been involved in previous rounds and wish to utilise the funds to continue their work.
This year WTUN would like to encourage exchange proposals within the WTUN focus areas:
- Gender Equality
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
- Good Health and Wellbeing
- Quality Education
- Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Responsible Consumption and Production
- Climate Action
- International collaboration between HE institutions
However, all proposals will be considered equally.
As in previous years, we will be encouraging applications which specifically seek to develop further international activities (joint modules, summer schools, joint research bids).
There will be a two-proposal limit per member institution and therefore all proposals must be approved by the sending/lead institution’s Operational Board Member. We would love to see applications from across our entire membership and so would like to encourage applications from member institutions yet to take part in the WTUN Exchange Programme.
Go to https://www.wtu-n.net/exchanges/ for further information and to download ‘WTUN Exchange Programme Proposal and Agreement Form 2025-26’
Deadline for applications: 13 March 2026 for Taiwan Tech, 20 March 2026 for WTUN.
Applicants are encouraged to contact institutions Operational Board Member, Prof. Shun-Feng Su (sfsu@mail.ntust.edu.tw), for details in advance before submitting the application.
