The TWAS-NCP Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme offers early-career scientists from developing countries the opportunity to conduct postdoctoral research in physical sciences at the National Centre for Physics (NCP) in Islamabad, Pakistan. The fellowship covers travel, living expenses, and health insurance, promoting international collaboration and knowledge exchange in scientific research.
Offered by UNESCO in collaboration with the Polish government, this fellowship targets engineers and technical professionals from developing countries. Participants will engage in hands-on training and academic courses in top Polish institutions, gaining valuable insights into modern engineering practices.
AfricaCDC’s Biomanufacturing Fellowship is an intensive leadership and technical training program designed to boost Africa’s biomanufacturing workforce. Selected fellows will undergo multi-phase training, including practical placements in global manufacturing facilities.
This short-term research collaboration initiative is jointly run by TWAS and the German Research Foundation (DFG). It enables researchers from Sub-Saharan Africa to visit German institutions for up to three months to initiate or strengthen research partnerships.
