How It Works

From Proposal to Departure

The sending institution nominates the cohort and arranges all travel. LCARE and World Research Union design the academic itinerary, secure the host institutions and industry partners, and issue the programme record.

1

Submit your proposal

Preferred region, cohort size, discipline and travel window, through the form on this page.

Review and design

We assess feasibility against host availability and return a draft itinerary, costing and academic outline.

3

Agreement and confirmation

A written agreement is signed. Programme Confirmation Letters are issued for each named participant.

4

Delivery and certification

The cohort travels, the itinerary runs, and each participant receives an LCARE Certificate of Participation.

Important

LCARE and World Research Union deliver the academic itinerary only. Neither organisation issues visas, sponsors immigration applications, or sells travel, accommodation or insurance. A Programme Confirmation Letter confirms participation, dates and itinerary content — it is supporting documentation for the sending institution's own visa applications and carries no guarantee of any visa decision. The LCARE Certificate of Participation records attendance and contact hours; it carries no credit value and is not a qualification. Any future credit recognition, progression or articulation arrangement remains subject to the regulations and formal approval of the participating institutions.

  • One or two academic seminars by your faculty
  • A campus and facilities tour
  • Optional introduction to your international office
  • Typically two to four cohorts per year

What Hosts Receive

  • An agreed hosting fee per cohort, paid by LCARE
  • Direct exposure to prospective international applicants
  • A named institutional partnership with LCARE and WRU
  • Introductions to the sending institutions
  • A basis for future exchange or research discussions
  • No administrative or immigration obligation
