LSR Nyberg’s International Visitors’ Program

The Visitors’ Programme gives the departments a possibility to invite each year approximately three international top researchers to hold research seminars at our school.

Inviting internationally distinguished researchers to visit our school allows us to take a more active role in the international scientific community. High-quality research seminars (and visiting lectures) substantially further the genuine efforts of our school to increase the internationalization of our research (and teaching).

The duration of each visit is limited to about one week. The budget per visit is maximum EUR 2 200 for the visitor’s travel and accommodation expenses and in addition a financial reward (for presenting in a seminar) of EUR 300 plus ~20% social costs.

The departments may submit proposals for international top researchers to be invited to research seminars (and preferably also to degree programs) by filling out the attached Grant Application Form. Submit the application to Tapani Mikola, PL 21210.
