Call for Applications for the 2026 Kavli ENSI and Winton Program Exchange Awards is now OPEN
The Winton Cambridge-Berkeley Exchange Program is a partnership between the Winton Program for the Physics of Sustainability, and the Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute (ENSI) at the University of California, Berkeley to support research within the fields of these two programs.
This program supports exchanges for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in both directions, between research groups involved in the Winton Programme and KavliENSI on topics relating to the physics of sustainability.
GRADUATE STUDENTS EXCHANGE
Students can submit proposals for projects of between six weeks (e.g. for a summer exchange) and six months in length, to enhance their PhD research projects by conducting new experiments at the host university. To be eligible to apply, students must be registered for a PhD program at their home university for the duration of the visit, and must obtain approval from their home and host supervisors for the exchange visit.
