S.T. Lee Travel Award
The S.T. Lee Travel Award provides funding for one young researcher per year to engage with the International Arctic Research Center through exchange visits.
Each year, one young scientist is chosen for an exchange visit between the Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) and the International Arctic Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks (IARC). The host centre alternates each year and the student is recommended by the Director of the host centre.
The chosen young scientist gives a talk at the host centre and interacts widely with scientists at the host university and centre.
Within a month of the completion of the visit he/she should provide both directors and the Lee Seng Tee Foundation with a short report that reflects both the activities undertaken and the value of the visit.
The exchange visit may be for one week or another mutually agreeable period. If extra expenses are incurred, the host centre will provide them.
