The YERUN Research Mobility programme wants to provide a platform to:
- Work with other YERUN Researchers on a joint project or publication,
- Promote multidisciplinary research across the YERUN network, and
- Enrich the research and training opportunities for PhD students, early career, postgraduate and postdoctoral scholars and staff within the YERUN network.
