Short Term International Program Associate (IPA)

Karolinska Institutet has a doctoral exchange agreement with RIKEN in Japan called “Short Term International Program Associate (IPA)”, and the doctoral exchange agreement enables KI PhD-students to spend between 3-6 months at RIKEN. The application period is in April and October and the PhD-student applies directly to RIKEN. Accepted PhD-students will receive a small economical contribution from RIKEN. The Board of Doctoral Education has also allocated two travel allowances for the exchange programme.
