[Germany] Scholarships for Master's and PhD Candidates from Africa, Brazil and Germany

[Germany] Scholarships for Master's and PhD Candidates from Africa, Brazil and Germany
Call for Proposals for the Pilot Project: Future Trilateral Cooperation within the scope of cooperation in higher education between Germany, Brazil, and the countries of lusophone Africa

What are the project goals?

The German Academic Exchange Service aims to strengthen cooperation in higher education between Germany, Brazil and countries of lusophone Africa. To support the mobility of junior scientists from lusophone Africa as well as Brazilian and German lecturers and scientists, such Trilateral Cooperation will be initiated by means of a Pilot Project in 2009. A six-month research stay at German universities will be offered for African Master's and PhD candidates. At the same time Brazilian and African university teachers and scientists will get the opportunity to carry out their own research projects for up to three months and will supervise and support the young African scientists at participating German universities. Furthermore short-term lectureships will be funded for German scientists in the relevant target regions. In 2010, the Pilot Project will lead to extensive cooperation between the universities and scientists taking part in the project.

What is funded?

1. Short-term Research Scholarships for African Master's and PhD Candidates

The monthly scholarship instalment for short-term research stays at German universities amounts to a maximum of 1,000 euros over a period of up to six months, plus an additional travel allowance.
2. Research Stays for University Teachers and Scientists from Abroad

The monthly scholarships for university teachers and scientists from Brazil and lusophone Africa, respectively, amount to a maximum of 2,240 euros and are dependent on the applicant's academic status. A travel allowance is also provided. Funding is limited to a maximum stay of three months at a German university. In addition to their own research activities, the scientists will also support and supervise the African short-term scholarship recipients within the project.
3. Short-term Lectureships for German Scientists

Applications can be submitted for accommodation and subsistence costs of up to 2,137 euros (in Africa) and 2,600 euros (in Brazil) for short-term lectureships by German scientists in both target regions. In addition a travel allowance will be paid. The funding is limited to a term of one to three months.
4. Support and Supervision Funds for German universities

Upon application, German universities will receive flat-rate funding (amounting to 60 euros per month and scholarship recipient) to supervise and tutor the shortterm scholarship recipients within the scope of this project. If more short-term scholarship recipients (minimum of six) are accepted, the respective university may apply for more funding for tutorial means and resources.
5. Material and Organisation Costs

Universities that accept a minimum of six scholarship recipients may, within the scope of the Trilateral Cooperation scheme, apply for the funding of training workshops for lecturers, supervision, etc. Applications for 'Cooperation Workshops' are open to universities that clearly show a strong interest in a future Trilateral Cooperation Project. Funding of up to 10,000 euros per workshop can be approved.

Future cooperation between universities in Germany, Brazil, and lusophone Africa are to be initiated and/or structurally consolidated by combining the various mobility components. This initial seed funding is limited to the fiscal year 2009.

Application Deadline

The application deadline for short-term research scholarships, research stays, and short-term lectureships is 22 May 2009 (postal stamp). All necessary papers and documents must be included for consideration of the application. The DAAD will send the invitation to submit the application for Supervision and Support Funding and Material and Organisation Costs to the respective universities as from July 2009.

[England] White Rose Scholarship, Mechanical Engineering

[England] White Rose Scholarship, Mechanical Engineering

Characterisation of material and surface properties to improve functional, ergonomic and affective experiences in the home

Closing Date: 29th May 2009

Project supervisors:
Lead Supervisor: Dr Ray Holt, School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds
Co-Supervisor: Dr Paul Cairns, Computer Science, University of York

Details of studentship: White Rose Studentships arise from a special relationship between the three White Rose Universities - University of Leeds, University of Sheffield and University of York. The studentship is collaborative in nature; each studentship involves supervisors from two of the White Rose Universities. The studentship commences full-time PhD study in September/October 2009 and is tenable for up to 3years, subject to satisfactory academic progress. The studentship provides academic fees at the UK/EU rate and an annual maintenance grant (£13,290 in Session 2009/10, to be increased in line with the standard research council maintenance grant). To be considered applicants should hold a 2i or better Bachelors degree in engineering or a related subject.

Details of project:
This project will investigate the role of material and texture in creating products that are both easy-to-use and desirable for older consumers, using the packaging and utensils encountered in the kitchen as a case study. This will explore three novel areas: balancing affective requirements against functional and ergonomic needs; the influence of environmental conditions on affective responses, and the use of different surface textures on different parts of a product to satisfy users varying requirements at different stages of use. The project will be carried out in three stages, involving work at both Leeds and York Universities:

1. Interview and observe users to determine their functional, ergonomic and affective requirements for packaging and utensils in the context of making a meal in the kitchen. This will be done through interviews and observational studies of users preparing a meal at the University of York's Responsive Home Lab.
2. Characterise material and surface properties of packaging and utensils in terms of affective responses.
Affective responses to the materials and textures used in the observational studies will be gathered at the University of Leeds' Affective Engineering lab. The properties of these materials and textures will be measured and characterised in terms of the affective responses that they evoke.
3. Propose and evaluate new combinations of material and texture for kitchen utensils and packaging which will improve performance against the identified requirements. The information gathered from the affective study will be used to propose new combinations of material and surface texture that offer an improved affective experience, which will be tested by creating prototype products and repeating the original observational study.

Training provision for student
The student will be based in the University of Leeds, which provides a professional development scheme for all its postgraduate students to identify and meet their training needs.

The following requirements apply to German citizens, EU citizens and students who have gained their university entrance qualifications from a German school:

The following requirements apply to all German and non-German students wishing to pursue a Masters degree or post-graduate studies:

* You should definitely apply for a scholarship before the start of your studies, in order to ensure long-term support and cooperation.
* The Heinrich Böll Foundation cannot award you a scholarship, if you are studying for a one-year Masters degree and were not previously supported by the foundation.
