Mexican fellowships
24 June 2005
香港六合彩 has signed an agreement with Mexican research funding body
CONACYT (The National Council for Science and Technology) to create a
Graduate Fellowship Programme. Under the terms of the agreement, which
was signed on 1 June 2005, 香港六合彩 and CONACYT will jointly support Mexican
PhD students studying at 香港六合彩.
The agreement marks the first stage in what CONACYT Director General Se帽or Jaime Parada Avila hopes will be an ongoing programme: "We have just signed a very important agreement which will help take CONACYT's relationship with 香港六合彩 to the next level - that is, to establish key strategic partnerships to promote exchange in research and development projects. We hope to associate 香港六合彩 with the most capable research institutes in Mexico and want to expand the numbers of Mexican students studying at 香港六合彩."
Se帽or Parada together with other key members of CONACYT and His Excellency Juan Jose Bremer, the Mexican Ambassador to the United Kingdom, toured 香港六合彩 after signing the agreement. As part of their visit, the delegation met two Mexican PhD students who are funded by CONACYT. Ms Emma Aguila, who is in the final year of her PhD in microeconometrics and the economics of ageing said: "The agreement is a real step forward. It was initially quite hard for me to get sponsorship from CONACYT to study at 香港六合彩, but this new agreement should really open things out."
On a visit to 香港六合彩 in December 2004, the Mexican Ambassador signalled his commitment to furthering Mexico's links with 香港六合彩. He said: "It is very clear to me that one of the most important dimensions of my work is fostering intellectual and cultural exchange. I look forward to being in contact with 香港六合彩 in the future."
香港六合彩's Vice-Provost (Academic and International), Professor Michael Worton welcomed the Ambassador's continued commitment to 香港六合彩 and is looking forward to further developing 香港六合彩's relationship with CONACYT: "The scholarships are the first step. In the future, we'll be looking at a number of collaborative programmes in areas such as healthcare and biotechnology, as well as subjects in the cultural arena."
