Fellows are not ICO staff members. As such, they do not receive salaries or the benefits. Fellows are managed by ICO Secretary General’s Project Teams and from time to time will receive advice from the ICO Advisory Board.
Mentoring and monitoring
The fellowship programme manager or an appointed manager (the mentor) will
work with each selected Research Fellow. The mentor will support and provide expert advice throughout the fellowship about the research outputs and career development.
Progress Report
Research Fellows are required to submit a progress and activity summary report to each year. The Research Fellow, and mentor will meet to discuss the report, identify progress being made and make plans. If needed an Academic supervisor will be appointed to join meetings.
Responsibility
Research Fellows are responsible for arranging the annual progress report meetings with their mentors. Academic supervisor might be invited to two out of the five meetings to ensure sufficient support is provided to the Research Fellow.
A template will be provided for the report.
