Overview
The IRL PhD Scholarships in Science or Business at Victoria University of Wellington have been established by Industrial Research Ltd in recognition of its very close relationship with the University, and particularly with its Faculties of Science, Engineering, and, more recently, with the Victoria Management School within the Faculty of Commerce and Administration. Specifically, they will assist in fostering entrepreneurial and commercial skills among young New Zealand scientists to help the country maximize the commercial return from innovative scientific research. The Scholarships have been established through the Victoria University Foundation.
Criteria
Applications are invited from postgraduate students undertaking a PhD degree at Victoria University of Wellington in the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Engineering or the Victoria Management School of the University’s Faculty of Commerce and Administration. It is expected that the successful applicants will be working on a thesis of direct relevance to IRL’s research and commercial interests.
