International Research Collaboration Advisors
The International Research Collaboration Advisors (IRCAs) provide advice on research and related links with designated countries and regions and assist in forging international research links. There are currently four advisors. If you want advice on research and collaboration in these regions please feel free to contact the appropriate advisor. The Research Office is now considering expanding the IRCAs to cover different regions, and this page will be changed to reflect this.
