Quad Fellowship – Elevating the Brightest Minds in STEM for Collective Good

 

The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce the application for the second cohort of the Quad Fellowship is now open to exceptional master's and doctoral students in science and technology who demonstrate academic excellence, exceptional results in their field, and a desire to use their talents to promote collective good. The fellowship, initiated by the Quad countries of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, and administered by IIE, sponsors exceptional STEM master's and doctoral students to study in the United States.

 

The Quad Fellowship is a first-of-its-kind fellowship designed to build ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists. It offers an unparalleled blend of financial support, cross-cultural exchange, and networking:

 

  • A one-time stipend of US $40,000 for academic expenses.
  • Networking opportunities with accomplished minds in STEM, government, and society.
  • Multicultural alumni network dedicated to advancing innovation and research for positive social impact.

 

The inaugural cohort of Quad Fellows is a diverse and dynamic array of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians from the four Quad countries. More than 50% of our inaugural class identifies as women or non-binary and are currently studying across 49 distinct areas of specialization in STEM across the US. Earlier this week, Quad Fellows gathered at the White House to celebrate the successes of the first cohort and mark the launch of the second cycle.

 

We are delighted to share that the reach of Quad Fellowship has expanded – the application, for the academic year 2024-2025, is now open to distinguished candidates from the four Quad countries as well as candidates from the ten ASEAN countries of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

 

The application for the academic year 2024-2025 is now available on the Quad Fellowship website and will close on April 1, 2024, 5:00 PM ET. The website has further information on the application process, requirements, and eligibility criteria. We invite eligible candidates to take advantage of this opportunity and submit their applications for this unique fellowship.

Warm greetings from sunny Paris!

 

As you may know, our university is based in the heart of Paris and specializes in the teaching of over 100 non-Western languages. We also offer a full course (30 ECTS) of French as a foreign language classes accessible to all levels, including full beginners! Please find enclosed our Fact Sheet as well as more information on our course offering. More information about Inalco's courses offer and language prerequisites can also be found on our webpage.

 

We are pleased to announce that nominations for international students wishing to take part in Inalco's exchange program are about to open for :

- Fall semester 2024-2025 (September 2024 to January 2025).

- All academic year 2024/2025  ( September 2024 to June 2025).

We kindly ask you to fill out our very short online nomination form (one for each student you wish to nominate) between March 1st and March 31st.

 

From April 5th, nominated students will directly receive by e-mail instructions on how to complete their application. They will be asked to submit an online application form with an ID photo, a photocopy of their passport/national ID and a French language test or certificate.

 

Please note that Inalco now welcomes student who have no French proficiency (from level A1) in our French as a foreign language program, Inal'FLE.

Therefore, should you have students who wish to come to Inalco but do not speak any French, do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

Please note: until last year, we had always been able to welcome all of the nominated students at Inalco regardless of the number of applications submitted. However, due to a drastic increase of applications submitted for incoming mobilities in our university this year, we expect the number of applications submitted during this campaign to potentially exceed our maximum capacity. For this reason, though we will do our best to accomodate as many applicants as possible, it is possible that we would have to turn down a few applications. If that were to be the case, priority is likely to be given to students coming from universities with whom we have been able to maintain a certain degree of reciprocity (similar numbers of incoming and outgoing students between the two institutions). We thank you in advance for your understanding, and we kindly ask you to let the students know about this possibility so that they would not take any dispositions (booking housing or flights, for example) before receiving an official letter of attendance from us (expected to be sent out at the beginning of May).

The Head Office of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is currently running an assessment of the DAAD portfolio and the activities in India. To support  to assess the DAAD's engagement in India based on your experiences as responsible for internationalisation of your university. The study aims to identify to which extent the existing needs and requirements are covered and if there are potential funding gaps.

Against the background of substantial science and education policy reforms in India (most notably the National Education Policy (NEP) and the Draft of the Science and Technology Policy) as well as India's growing geopolitical importance, the DAAD would like to strategically align its engagement in this country. For this purpose, the DAAD has commissioned the agency Syspons to conduct a portfolio analysis as well as an analysis of the DAAD’s local representation structures. On the one hand, the objectives of the current DAAD engagement are to be validated, higher-level impact are to be recorded, and synergies between the DAAD's funding instruments are to be identified. On the other hand, the cooperation with Indian partner organizations and higher education institutions are assessed against the backdrop of their requirements for internationalisation.

In this context, we are conducting focus groups with DAAD cooperation partners and important stakeholders. As your institution is highly engaged in international higher education and research cooperation, we would be glad if you could support us and join us for an online focus group.

The agency Syspons will run an online focus group. and will contact you in the next days. The confirmed participants of the focus groups will receive some guiding questions beforehand for preparation.

Exchange Programme at MCI Innsbruck (MCI)

 

Scholarship/grant that students can apply for if they would like to do an exchange semester or year at MCI Innsbruck (MCI) or at any other university of applied sciences in Austria: Ernst Mach Grant for studying at an Austrian university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule)

This grant is for undergraduate and graduate students who would like to study at an Austrian university of applied sciences for one or two semesters during the 2023-2024 academic year (starting with fall semester 2023-24, e.g. September/October 2024). Students in almost all fields are eligible. The grant is EUR 1.150/month. For more information on the grant and eligibility criteria, please click here.

IMPORTANT: The responsible authorities have changed the grant application deadline for the 2024-25 academic year to February 1, 2024.
To apply for this grant, your students need the letter of acceptance from MCI. This means that they have to apply to MCI first, will then get their MCI letters of acceptance, and will subsequently be able to apply for the Ernst Mach Grant.

If you have any students wishing to study at MCI and to apply for the Ernst Mach Grant, please nominate them as soon as possible, but by 15th January 2024 at the latest. I will then send them the information on how to apply to MCI (via paper application; our online application for 2024-2025 will only be available after the Ernst Mach Grant application deadline; the paper application is only preliminary, so that I can issue your students’ letters of acceptance; they will still have to apply to MCI online afterwards). Once they have finished their (preliminary paper) applications, I will send them their letters of acceptance, and they’ll be able to apply for the Ernst Mach Grant.

It is also possible to nominate students for spring semester 2025 only. However, these students also have to apply until February 1, 2023, so we would need their nomination at MCI by 15th January 2024 at the latest as well.

Please note that this is a grant offered by the Austrian government, not by MCI, and it is competitive. The better students prepare their grant application (esp. the reasons why they want to study in Austria/at MCI and how studying in Austria fits into their current studies and future plans), the greater their chances of getting the grant.

As the deadline is set one month earlier than in the past, it is recommendable for nominated students to prepare the two letters of recommendation for the Grant application already beforehand / parallel to the pre-application to MCI.
As a reference, the following documents will be required for the Grant application:

 

An additional note: International Relations Office will be closed this year from December 23, 2023 until January 07, 2024. For nominations made during this period of time, please understand that I will only be able to getting back to the students after I will be back in the office. Of course I will do my best to getting back to them as soon as possible, to make sure that they have enough time to fill in all documents.
