Kavli Visiting Scholars program

The Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) has initiated the Kavli Visiting Scholars program.  The program supports astrophysicists across the Kavli network to spend a meaningful period of time (2 to 4 weeks) in residence at KIAA situated in Peking University (PKU). During the visit, the Kavli Visiting Scholar gives a KIAA/PKU colloquium and is encouraged to participate in various formal and informal activities to interact with members and students at KIAA and the PKU Department of Astronomy.

 

KIAA is an international center for astrophysics with English as the working language. It has actively engaged in creating an intellectual atmosphere to facilitate exchange among domestic and international scientists. The Kavli Visiting Scholars program is part of this effort to stimulate scientific interactions, broaden the scientific horizons of KIAA, and potentially foster new collaborations. For more introduction to KIAA, please visit: http://kiaa.pku.edu.cn/about/introduction

 

The candidates for the Kavli Visiting Scholars are nominated by KIAA faculty members, and a selection committee is established to make recommendations to the Director. The program fully reimburses the travel expenses of the Kavli Visiting Scholars, including air tickets (economic class) and accommodation costs during the stay at KIAA. For more information regarding logistics of visiting KIAA, please visit: http://kiaa.pku.edu.cn/visitor-info
