PhD Education Exchange
The PhD Education Exchange, funded by the Monash Warwick Alliance, creates the opportunity for a small cohort of HDR students to experience professional development in international undergraduate education. You’ll learn about supporting key educational administrative activities and understand the pedagogical drivers behind these programs through observation and support of International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR).
Research Culture Sandpit
Could your idea improve research culture at Warwick? We warmly welcome PGRs with an idea to improve research culture to take part in our next wave of enhancing research culture funding. We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming Research Culture Sandpit event, taking place on 27 February. Places are limited, so please register your interest to attend.
PhD Travel Grant
The Monash Warwick Alliance PhD Travel Grant is a fantastic opportunity to connect with academics and fellow research students across the globe, expand your network, generate and share new ideas, and enhance your professional and personal development. This short-term travel grant scheme aims to help build research connections between Monash and Warwick, as well as to enhance and bring international dimension to your own research project, without requiring a long-term commitment to studying abroad. Applications are open to all current PGRs in any discipline.
DAAD short-term research grants
The application deadline for the DAAD short-term research grants is drawing near: 15 February. These grants are for doctoral candidates or early-careers researchers and academics wishing to conduct research stays of up to six months in Germany. More information about application requirements and the process can be found on this page.

What happens when belief, sacredness and the divine collide with ecological crises? How do such distressed landscapes alter our ideas of the ecological and theological? These are just some of the questions 'Divine Disasters' invites us to explore. Join us for a one-day interdisciplinary conference on 24 February.
