The split-site PhD scheme is a high priority on the higher education agenda in Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR). In response to calls from the universities in IKR to help develop research linkages, we are holding a split-site education forum to provide an opportunity for IKR and UK universities to develop sustainable and long term strategic links and partnerships.
The event programme will include a networking event starting with presentations by UK university delegates followed by one on one discussions with potential university partners from IKR to understand the structure and content of the split-site PhD scheme; discuss needs and issues facing it; identify possibilities for joint supervision and explore partnership building opportunities around that scheme.
