Group of Eight partners with leading European research facility
by Go8
Group of Eight (Go8) students now have access to a joint PhD with one of the world’s leading research facilities under a new Memorandum of Understanding with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).
EMBL is Europe’s life sciences research flagship. Based on analysis of citation data it ranks as the highest performing research institution outside the United States.
The EMBL Australia International PhD Program will allow up to three students a year to undertake a PhD at the EMBL. The PhDs will be co-funded by EMBL Australia and each student’s Australian host university.
“The Go8 is delighted to be forming this partnership with the world’s most respected life sciences institute,” said Go8 Chair, Professor Alan Robson.
“The MoU signed today will mean that Go8 students accepted into the program will receive joint supervision and a joint award from their host university in Australia and the EMBL.”
Chair of EMBL Australia, Professor Richard Larkins, said: “The EMBL Australia PhD program will virtually guarantee a bright future for any aspiring life scientist. I encourage all undergraduate and honours students seeking the world’s best training and research excellence to apply.”
