Lyon Sachs Collaborative Research Fund

Dear Chairs and Directors,

I would appreciate it if you could bring the following message to the attention of your faculty members.

Lyon Sachs Collaborative Research Fund:

The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto has access to this fund which was provided by our donor, Lyon Sachs, to facilitate technical exchange with the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.

Faculty members wishing to visit the Technion to further mutual research interests may make applications to this fund to cover their travel costs.  Funds may be advanced to cover airfare, accommodation costs, and a daily per diem for meals.

The maximum period of such visits shall be two weeks.

The application should consist of a two-page description of proposed activities including an indication of the host at the Technion and their role in the visit.  For faculty at the U of T, the application should be sent to Vice-Dean Chris Damaren. The application will need to be approved by him and his counterpart at the Technion.

Regards,

Chris Damaren, PhD, PEng(BC)

Vice-Dean, Graduate Studies
