Click here for contact and information
Last year, I have attended a talk on this program. It should not be confused for UKM-Global Student Mobility program. UKM mobility program (outbound) will sponsor UKM undergrad and postgrad students to attend overseas conference and attachment/internship. The duration of travel period for attachment is 3 weeks -3 months. Maximum travel grant is RM 10,000. The fund will given only once throughout the studies. The suitable candidates will be called for interview. Student who's interested to apply should obtain other financial assistance and use UKM Mobility fund to cover the rest of the expenses.

Melisa, I've seen some of your posts in the Seqanswers forum and it seems to me that you have a rather "distorted" views about Chinese. As your fellow Malaysian having to work at some of the best research institutes in the world and hence have a lot of experiences working with scientists all over the world, I'll like to correct your unfounded discriminatory attitude against Chinese. Since you are also working on next generation sequencing, you should be aware of the fact that many of the NGS programs and the algorithms behind them are developed by some of the most intelligent brains in the scientific community; and these brains turn out to be CHINESE. For example, if you look carefully at the Sanger Institute or European Bioinformatics Institute, you'll be amazed by the contributions these Chinese scientists have made. And, no offence, I don't believe there are that many Malaysian (including us the Malaysian Chinese) can ever compete with them. I'll strongly advise you to venture outside Malaysia to see the wider world. Never underestimate the potential of your own heritage and be respectful to all the scientists, regardless of their background (not all great sciences are from the Westerner) and position.
Dear Mr. Anonymous,
First of all, thank you for viewing my blog. You spelled my name wrongly.
I'm not sure where did you form the impression that I was being disrespectful. I checked the forum again. Perhaps you were referring to my comment inferring that all forum members should converse in English. I'm merely feeling unjust for other members who cannot understand the content of the discussion.
Apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding.
Cheers
Melissa
