eSI Research Visitors
Collaborate with UK R&DPre-established mutual interestsBuild bridges with visitor’s community
Engage in and develop eSI event programmeWe encourage diversity of disciplines
Complementary experience, knowledge and skillsWe can help match interests and develop a plan
Visitors must already be engaged in relevant R&DThis is not a training opportunity
Our support depends on the length and value of visitTypically covers travel and/or local living costsVisits last from one week to a year
