Deadline: 01 October, 2020
The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) has opened applications for the TWAS Visiting Expert Programme.
This programme provides institutions and research groups in developing countries with opportunities to establish long-term links with world leaders in science.
Additionally, the programme supports visits of internationally renowned scientists to institutions located in developing countries, especially those located in the least developed countries.
The visiting expert will be expected to interact closely with faculty and students of host institutions with the aim of strengthening their existing activities and/or assisting in the establishment of new lines of research.
The visiting expert could also deliver lectures and seminars to research students, supervise students, conduct research and discuss future collaborative partnerships.
Benefits
- TWAS will provide the most direct economy class travel while host institutions cover local expenses
Eligibility
- Open to institutions and research groups in developing countries
- Only persons who have attained international recognition in their fields of science will be considered for support under this programme
- Applicants will not be eligible to visit another institution in that year under the TWAS Visiting Professor programmes; but the head of an institution who invites an external scholar to share his/her expertise under the TWAS Visiting Professor programmes may still apply for another programme
