Following the success of six previous editions, the Women for Africa Foundation (FMxA), in line with its mission of contributing to the development of Africa through its women, is launching the 7th edition of the SCIENCE BY WOMEN programme. The programme´s ultimate goal is to enable African women researchers to play a leading role in the transition of Africa to a knowledge-based and innovation-led economy through research that can be transferred into products, processes, services and technologies having impact on people´s lives.
The Women for Africa Foundation aims to enable African women researchers and scientists to tackle the great challenges faced by Africa through research in health agriculture and food security, water, energy and climate change, as well as mathematics and economic science.
In this 7th edition associated research centres include:
Each of these centres will host 1 senior woman researcher with at least 3 years of post-doctoral experience for a six-month fellowship. Applications will be subjected to a rigorous selection process, evaluating the academic merits and leadership of the applicants as well as the scientific quality and expected impact of their research projects. Selected candidates will receive training and integration in a dynamic, multidisciplinary and highly competitive working team, where they will be able to develop their research projects and acquire complementary skills, empowering them to transfer their research results into tangible economic and social benefits.
The deadline for application is September 30, 2021
