This exciting opportunity was facilitated by Professor Erica Wanless (pictured far left) from the School of Environmental and Life Sciences, with each scholar receiving $3,000 in funding to cover travel expenses, as well as credit towards their studies through enrolment in the SCIT3600 course. Additionally, the scholars will have the opportunity to collaborate with renowned Chinese and international researchers and students and contribute to a current research project.
