Australia-China Centre on Water Resources Research - Opportunities
Opportunities for Exchange and Students
As part of its overall program, the Centre actively encourages staff and students to engage in reciprocal exchange or field visit. These are important contributors to relationship building, knowledge exchange, and collaborative research between Australia and China.
The Centre is pleased to facilitate these types of visits, and to act as the conduit between Australia and China.
