“…Short-term doctoral mobility schemes (measured in days and weeks rather than months and years) are relatively low-cost, potentially high-value investments for the development of early career researchers (ECRs). Funding for doctoral researchers to engage in international academic mobility is believed to have the indirect benefit of enhancing future mobility (Netz and Jaksztat, 2014;Saint-Blancat, 2018). Short-term doctoral mobility schemes may involve research training (Avveduto, 2001), funding for conference travel (Henderson, 2015), and international visits to research centres and organisations (McLeod and Bloch, 2010); these types of academic travel are differentiated from longer term doctoral mobility which includes 'degree mobility' (Wächter, 2014), split-site doctorates, and extended study abroad and secondment schemes (Ackers, Gill and Guth, 2007).…”
