National Science Foundation (NSF) Director Subra Suresh and Swiss State Secretary for Education, Research and Innovation Mauro Dell'Ambrogio has announced a new research partnership with Switzerland through Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW). The agreement was signed at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. GROW is a coordinated effort that enhances international collaborative research opportunities for NSF Graduate Research Fellows. There are currently GROW agreements between NSF and science agencies in nine countries.

GROW was announced in Dec. 2012, at the 60th anniversary celebration of the Graduate Research Fellowship Program, NSF's flagship program for graduate students in the science and engineering fields within NSF's mission.  To read further, please visit http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=126693&WT.mc_id=USNSF_51&WT.mc_ev=click.
