TWAS Visiting Scientist Programme
Published: 2012-09-10
This programme gives institutions or research groups in developing countries the opportunity to host world leaders in science to boost capacity building in their country. Application deadline 1st October.
The TWAS Visiting Scientist Programme supports visits of internationally renowned scientists to institutions located in developing countries, especially those located in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
The objective of the programme is to provide institutions and research groups in developing countries, especially those with limited outside contacts, with the opportunity to establish long-term links with world leaders in science and so help develop capacity-building in their country. Under the programme, prospective host institutions can invite internationally renowned experts in areas of science other than mathematics and physics to collaborate in research and training.
The visit should have a minimum stay of two weeks at the host institution. TWAS will cover the cost of the air ticket and will provide an honorarium of USD 500, while the host institution is expected to cover local expenses.
The Visiting Scientist Programme Application Form must be filled out by both the inviting institution in a developing country and the visiting scientist. Download the form here.
