Do you have facilities that SaltAges scientists could use? Do you have samples or data that you need someone to analyse?
Could you provide technical training for a SaltAges scientist from another institute?
If so, post the opportunity on our virtual matchmaking board, so that applicants for SaltAges Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) can get in contact with you and develop their STSM grant application.
