Fellowships

During 2007 UNU-IIST has hosted 4 post-doctoral fellows, trained 18 fellows from 8 developing countries and 1 externally supported fellow from an industrialised country at UNU-IIST, and 7 fellows from 5 developing countries have studied at a university in a developed country. See appendix * for details.

Supervisions

UNU-IIST staff have been involved in supervising 4 post-doctoral fellows, 8 PhD students and 2 Masters student during 2007.

Juan Perna from Argentina was sponsored by UNU-IIST in 2006 as a joint PhD student with the University of York in the UK. After the first year York decided on the basis of his progress that they would allow him to complete all of his PhD there, funded entirely by York, rather than continuing with UNU-IIST support and with the second year spent at UNU-IIST. We are pleased with Juan's success at York, but will in future joint degree agreements require repayment of financial support in such situations.
