Rebecca Hotchkiss International Scholar Exchange Program

The Rebecca Hotchkiss International Scholar Exchange (RHISE) Program was established to develop new interactions and strengthen those that already exist between the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) and international centres of neuroscience research and training excellence. This program allows the HBI to bring neuroscience leaders and trainees from program partner institutes to Calgary for in-depth and intensive research residencies up to three months in length. Additionally, HBI faculty members, fellows and students may travel outside of North America to exchange ideas with and learn from the best neuroscientists, again for periods of up to three months.
