FBE Wins a European Commission Grant
The FBE, along with 3 of the European ECIU partners, have been successful in a bid for a 138,800 Euros grant to support student and scholar mobility to Australia. Three members of the ECIU - the University of Strathclyde, Aalborg Universitet and Technische Universitat Hamburg - are currently supported by the European Union to run a joint master level program in Global Innovation Management (GIM). The GIM will have its first intake in September 2008. GIM students will be accepted on an exchange basis, which provides an opportunity for our master level students to study at the partner ECIU institutions as exchange students. The funding will also support up to 4 ECIU scholars per year (for 2 years) to participate in a broad range of teaching and research roles in the FBE or other faculties.
