Ontario/Baden-Wurttemberg Exchange Program - Deadline: January 29, 2010 I am writing to advise you of research opportunities for summer 2010 at German universities for senior undergraduates and for graduate students in science, engineering, and health science disciplines. These opportunities, funded by MTCU, enable students from Ontario universities to spend between two and four months under the supervision of a host professor at one of the nine universities in Ontario's partner region Baden-Württemberg. Our partner institutions are the universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg, Hohenheim, Karlsruhe, Konstanz, Mannheim, Stuttgart, Tübingen, and Ulm. Full informationon this opportunity is available at the Ontario/Baden-Württemberg Exchange Program's website: http://www.yorku.ca/ontbw/SummerResearchProgram.html . The program is administered at the local level by each Ontario university's international exchange office, and it is to that office at each university that students must direct their application. I would be most grateful if you could ensure that students and faculty members be made aware of this program and that the following points be emphasized: 1. We are extending the 2010 deadline and will be pleased to receive applications by January 29, 2010 (deadline for receipt of applications at the central OBW office). 2. If a student does not have a professor in Ontario who can mediate contact with a host professor in Baden-Württemberg, that should not be a barrier to that student's applying. In such cases we are quite used to working closely with our German partners to seek a suitable hosting arrangement. Trusting that this opportunity will be of interest to your students, with best wishes, David Darby ----- David Darby, Associate Professor Graduate Chair, Comparative Literature Academic Director, Ontario/Baden-Württemberg Exchange Program Modern Languages and Literatures University of Western Ontario London, ON Canada N6A 3K7 Tel. +1 519 661 2111 x85857 Fax +1 519 661 4093
