SECURING FELLOWSHIPS FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION RESEARCH

This workshop was geared toward educators seeking to enhance their research capabilities, explore new areas of inquiry, and expand their professional networks through collaborations with colleagues from institutions beyond their national borders.The facilitators introduced the topic and described various pathways to securing fellowships for engineering education research (EER), including prestigious Fulbright, Marie Curie, and EU-funded fellowships.Via practical demonstrations, participants learned how to navigate relevant databases, identify suitable fellowship opportunities, and strategically align their research interests with funding priorities.Participants interacted with previous recipients of grants and fellowships awarded to individuals for research and/or professional development.Overall, the workshop leveraged collective expertise to help participants envision and strategise fellowship opportunities to maximise their chances for future success.Attendees were provided with essential resources, actionable steps for proposal development, and valuable tips to strengthen their funding applications.The ultimate objective of the workshop was to empower participants to secure funding for impactful EER projects, enabling them to advance their research agendas and contribute to the broader landscape of engineering education.
