Monash-Tel Aviv University (Israel)
A strategic partnership for international leadership in medical and health sciences
Established in 2013, with support from the Australian Friends of Tel Aviv University (Victoria) Inc., the Australian Friends of Tel Aviv University – Monash University (AFTAM) Awards were set up to encourage research collaborations that combine the expertise of both universities for greater impact, particularly in complementary capabilities and strategic objectives in the following themes:
- Medical & health sciences
- Sustainable environments
- Resilient cultures & communities
- Social sciences
In expanding our collaboration in the area of medical & health sciences, students in this PhD Student Exchange Program will benefit from co-supervision from both universities, a scholar visit to the collaborating university, a stipend scholarship and a travel bursary.
The exchange program will enable PhD students from each institution to undertake up to 3 months exchange at either Monash or Tel Aviv, depending on the project and training requirements.
