Research Exchanges in Complex Oxides

The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara is sponsoring International Research Exchanges in the area of Complex Oxides, to allow researchers to pursue collaborative Complex Oxides projects in laboratories that are not in their home country.

To apply for a research exchange, e-mail a short paragraph containing the following information to the ICMR Program Coordinator, Jennifer Ybarra, ybarra@mrl.ucsb.edu, or the Director, Nicola Spaldin, nicola@mrl.ucsb.edu:

A summary of the proposed research collaboration, how it will be enhanced by the international aspect, approximate dates and budget request, and additional considerations such as student involvement.

Funds are also available to sponsor small mini-workshops or other related activities at the international host site.

The Research Exchanges are part of a 6 month ICMR Research Program in Complex Oxides, which will take place from July to December 2008. For more information on other aspects of the Research Program, which includes a UCSB-based workshop on Frontiers in Complex Oxides and school on Multiferroics and Beyond, visit the program website: Oxides Program Website
