The fellowship will provide support for travel, lab fees, and boarding. In addition to research, selected students will get an opportunity to attend relevant courses at University of Kiel, get exposure to entrepreneurship training, and participate in professional development activities. PACK fellows will also have opportunities for participation in peer-to-peer based knowledge transfer activities, interdisciplinary seminars, and regularly scheduled retreats. There will be additional opportunities to visit other labs and research sites in Germany, interact with researchers at Penn State, and attend annual meetings of The American Ceramic Society and Energy Harvesting Society. PACK fellows receive a unique opportunity toward building an international scientific network for an academic or professional career.
